Can I program the key myself?

Just read a thread about programming the key without going to the dealer. Not sure if it works. Have anyone tried this before?

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ilizer+program

this is a long process, but heres what you will need
your new key
a MASTER KEY (one with the remote in it)already programmed to car.
to program the transponder- (thats the immobilizer part)
sitting in dr. seat, put the master key in ignition, and turn to on.engine OFF. press the gas pedal 5 times to floor and release. now press brake 6 times (press and release)
remove master key from ignition. install new key and turn to on...engine off. press gas to floor once. now wait. the security light will blink for about 45-60 seconds, then it will go off if you did it correctly. once the light is off, car should start.

can't be a "master key" it has to be cut first...and only the dealership can do this. If you have the key (ebay or watever) the dealer charges $5 to cut and program...or $40 for the key and the programming

if its a remote in the other hand, you can get em VERY cheap from ebay and program them youself. i have instructions if you need.
