Lucky for the ones who don't need to have their keys reprogrammed. :ah:
did you try inserting the key in ignition, tuning it on to the right(not turning the car on) and then push one of the buttons, that restarts it.
i dont know if you tried it or not, but when i replaced my battery it didnt do anyhting, but i did that and it works just fine now.

btw, when i got my car dealer told me that the key fob never worked for the previous owner, on the way home i stopped at walgreens, put a battery in, restarted it and no problems after that
