Buying A Remote On Ebay
I'd like to buy another remote fob but the dealer privce is high. There are many for sale on Ebay much cheaper. The question is: how do I know which fob to buy? Thanks.

You need to make sure the FCC ID matches your current remote (look on the back of your fob, there will be a number like E4EG8D-444H-A). Also, make sure you get the correct fob number for your seats (that is, if you use the fobs to switch between the two memory seating positions - driver 1 and driver 2). The dealer will usually program these for you for free (they did for me), but it’s easy enough that anyone could do it at home. Also they said you can only have 2 remotes per car (and I think up to 5 keys). Dunno how true that is, but it's what they said.
Here’s the sequence to program your fob if you choose to do it yourself (courtesy of hzm82 from the following thread):

Make sure the codes in the back of the new remote matches your old stock remote. Some key fob may look the same but won't work with each other. Be sure to have all Key fobs you want working with you when you do this.
