    no its easy to do...

    I have the directions around somewhere but its somethink like this:

    unlock drivers door with key
    open and get in
    close door
    put key in ignition
    very quickly move the key from off to on 10 times (10 times in 12 seconds?)
    which puts the car into program mode - i think it will beep once
    now i get lost....

    The rest:
    10 times (from off to on - just before the starter kicks in) in 15 seconds - horn will beep once - leave key on lock (get in a roll with this - it took me about 15 minutes to get the hang of it)
    open drivers door
    close drivers door
    press button on fob -
    (I think I read that you can do others now by repeating the last three steps for each one)
    remove key
    horn should beep 3 times.

    I also remember that the car stores the last four fobs that are programmed into it, so if you just bought the car or lost your fob you can program in the same fob multiple times. I have 2 fobs so i have them both in there twice.
