well, i have been locked out 3 times and no start twice "fob not recognized", decided reprogram them, i followed the steps as outlined in this thread, but can t get past step 5, frustrating, i did the key in the back 3 different times, and cannot get the beep or any message on the dic. i guess i will have to take it to the dealer, and he just programed them last week,this is bs. any tips or hints would maybe help me, and try again. battery is fully charged,window down,hatch open,glove box open, what else can one do.

The thread is sitting in the "Sticky" section of this forum. "NO FOBS DETECTED What to do?"

Absolutely. And if a fob that was previously recognized now is not recognized, it is rarely if ever a programming issue.
As far as tips and tricks...this thread has pages and pages of them from lots of people:

In your situation, I doubt that programming will make any difference...if a fob works...ever...then it is already programmed to the car. The problem is a different one.

What if you just carry the second fob and not the first? While unusual, it could be a bad fob. The programming mode is a separate issue and also the most common issue that people have in the procedure. If you have tried all the tips and tricks in those 18 pages of forum posts, then unfortunately the dealer is the next step. Keep in mind that they can do two things. They can use the TECH II and force program fobs, or they can repair the system so that programming can be done the normal way.
