As Andrewwyn said, no scanner or other tool needed to pair it. Follow the directions that come with the key, and watch a YouTube video or two before doing it. Nothing cosmic to it, but a definite order to follow. The new key goes first and becomes the master, then I did my two original old keys as backups.

Man, I am so tired of having no keyless entry and DLA problems, I would give $190 in a heartbeat to having it working again.



I need to troubleshoot my FZV first because all of my keys stopped working - but that will be on my list. I had no idea they were that reasonably priced. I was thinking it would be $250+ and then paying a dealer to program it next.
