Activate used FOB with Forescan?

[chefron777]

Hello All -bought a used, refurbished ST FOB for my 22 ST. I cannot get it programmed from all of the searches i have found on facebook forms and other goggle sites. If you know the exact way please let me know. BUT can you use Forescan to program the FOB? . I have the 2 Admin keys car came with (i just bought the 22 ST used with 40k miles) . Wanted to get a 3rd key for backup. I just cant get it to recognize for adding the 3rd no matter what i tried. thank you! Ron - SC

I don't think you can do it your self. I would check with a locksmith that does motor vehicle keys.

Nope, can’t use Forscan.

You don't need ForScan.

This method works below once you have two programmed keys in hand. You can program a 3rd and 4th key this way up to 4 max

I would go into the vehicle settings menus and look for the Mykey setup menu. I forget how it's worded but one of the options there will show you how many keys are programmed to the vehicle. Look to verify that you don't already have 4 keys programmed (highly unlikely), in which it won't accept another one.

The above method using the programming slot works, although from what i remember the orientation of the key does matter. Took me a few tires to get it. I managed to program 2 additional keys for 4 total.
