Programming instructions - keyless entry

[Q]

I lucked out and found a fob on ebay for my J30 for $22. I was told there were simple instructions on how to program a new remote to your car. I figured I'd try here first.

TIA for the help.

[Q]

I tried as per the instructions you posted. No go.. even with a new battery.

Are there any other steps I need to take before I try again? Windows down? Hood open? Headstand while eating a pickle?

The stealership said they'd charge me $45 to do it for me, but I know the instructions are out there somewhere. Anyone have any ideas?

I know I'll sound like an idiot, but be patient and try again.

Are you sure the remote matches the FCC codes for you car?

[Q]

Some questions on the instructions. Forgive me for asking these anal questions.

While sitting inside the vehicle:1. Open the trunk. 2. Close and lock all doors. Manually or with the drivers panel?3. Insert and remove the key from the ignition six times within 10 seconds. Do I need to turn the key or just insert/remove it?4. Manually unlock and lock driver's door once to enable "setting" mode.5. Push lock button on the new remote controller once, just long enough to hear it beep, within 5 seconds of completing step 4. How long should I push the button? Press and hold or just one quick push?

Thanks again for the help guys.
