Programming Mode
I'm working on an 05 convertible. It was a theft recovery and I had to replace engine computer, body control module, nav radio and a few other modules. I can't seem to get it into programming mode to learn a new key fob. Does the car need to be flashed to synch everything up before programming?

Yep, you're going to have to set up a visit with a Tech II first. I would recommend removing the fuse to the HVAC controls when you do this. When I had my modules programmed, somehow the HVAC module got fried. The buddy of mine that was doing the programming said that it happens from time to time.

On a positive note, I found one on eBay that had the face all scratched up because they removed it from an automatic car that they couldn't get out of park. They are like $400 new and I got it for $20 and then just swapped the faces.

It didn't work on mine. I had it out of the car for several hours and tried connecting it one last time before replacing it. It was completely dead, no display, nothing.
