Illicit minds think alike. IIRC I had to buy two copies (though
neither was as much as 30) but I got it to work. (With XP. Fortunatly
I still had my XP laptop. wouldn't work with whatever I had that was
newer.) But it wouldn't change what I wanted. All I wanted was the
fob to open both front doors with only one press, not two. That option
didn't exist for my 2005. And I wanted one other little thing I
couldn't have too.
I'm glad I didn't pay the dealer to tell me it couldnt' be done.
Cindy will think I'm a fool for caring if it takes one or two presses to
unlock the passenger door.
