You can also just try pressing the lock and unlock buttons at the same time until the horn honks.

It only takes a few seconds to program the FOB's, even if you are doing all 3(3 is the max # of FOB's allowed). There are lots of little 'secret' programs in there...like an 'Idle relearn', (if you have done any intake mods or have a hesitation problem on take off..) Someone sent me a list of all the programming things you can do in there and it was something like 30 different ones, just by pushing the right butons in the right order, at the right time....Someone smarter than me programmed all those commands in there!

I believe pushing the lock and unlock at the same time will just re-sync the fob to what's already programmed in the car. This will work a lot of the time without having to go through the complete reprogramming. So a criminal wouldn't be able to make their fob work this way, unless they're awful lucky.
