Reprogramming a key fob. Can it be done?
When I took possession of my 2010 ZDX it came with only one key fob.
I contacted my local hardware store that sells and programs car keys and it turns out that particular fob is on back order. I called my nearest dealer and they're on back order there too.
Who knows how long I'll have to wait till they become available? So here's my question: if I obtained an old used key fob from ebay or a junk yard can it be reprogramed to work with my car?
Has anyone heard of such a thing?
Thanks in advance.

Yes. I was told by my local hardware store that does programing those are mostly cheap, Chinese knock-offs.
He said sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. And when they do work according to him, they often don't work for long.
