Anyone else know? Because basically, I have the same problem... the FOB flashed the little red light and the car doesn't care.

Thanks
Where did you get this new key? This page has just about all the info on our key fobs. If you got it from a dealer, it should have come with the necessary paperwork. I have seen them show up on eBay from time to time, but rarely with the code (white tag with several numbers) and without it, those remotes are useless:
