I'm new here. I have searched the forums for this problem and have found some close threads but nothing exactly like what I've done.
So, I did something stupid, and half knew that I was going to brick my vehicle before I did it.
Long story short is that the second fob for my vehicle broke in half, so I bought a replacement from AutoZone.
I spent a few weeks avoiding the reset because the instructions were unclear to me.
There was a step that said "place the first FOB in the socket"
Now there was no socket in the ODB device. If I'd been thinking properly, I would have googled it first. But of course I didn't think to do that, and I got past the point in the steps where the programming device reset both my FOBs. It was only after googling the model number of the key programmer where I found a video explaining the socket is in the center console under the coin tray. Too late.
I've found many websites explaining how I can reset the FOBs by starting the car on a keyed ignition.
I can find nothing on how to do it with keyless.
I found out about FORScan in my searches.
My question is, if I purchase an ODB device, will I be able to use FORScan to reprogram my FOBs to start my vehicle?
Was thinking about this one:
OBDLink EX FORScan OBD Adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081VQVD3F/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_9CS7EbX9AHVBM
Appreciate any advice.
