How do you reprogram a key fob?

This is not something that an owner can do. Far as I know it has to be done at a dealership.

Right - like a lot of essentials in life, I always carry two.
Here's the instructions I received - not sure if it works on a previously programmed key.
Keyless Ride - Workshop instruction initial operation spare key
- Turn ignition off and wait until all control units are powered down. (>1 min)
- Put all available keys out of the radio range of the ring antenna (min 2 m)
- Hold the spare key directly to the ring antenna (max 5 cm away) and turn the ignition on.
The operation of initiation is done if the ignition can be switched on.
Not completely intuitive, but it worked.
