Programming key transmitter

[lecrawford]

I searched the threads but didn't find exactly the answer I need. My spare key is missing the transmitter. The chip is there and the key opens and locks with the door key and starts the car fine...it is just missing the remote transmitter guts. Since I have the right chip and blade, can I buy the same model key off someone else and just use the transmitter from the other key and put it into mine?

I read where the transmitter can be programmed by starting the car then taking the key out and using the transmitter within 6 seconds. Is this correct and can I make this work? Trying to avoid spending $300 at the dealer here.

Thanks!
