I just bought one from Amazon for $80. Programming it today. The instructions are on the forum or in the owner's manual. If you have one working fob, you can use the short method to program the new one only. If you want to start from scratch and reprogram both fobs use the longer method. You need the actual trunk key for either method.

And this process makes sure that there are not other fobs that you don't have that will open and start your car.
