check this link, it might help u program it http://home.cfl.rr.com/icdedppl/faq.html#c16

i think its somewhere in C (electrical), then look for registering new key that u got off ebay, then ull be prompted to click another link.

good luck.

btw u can register up to 4 keys.

If u followed all the steps correctly:
It will lock/unlock ONCE if its succesfull, else
TWICE if unsuccesfull... So battery shouldn't have something to do with that... But if it didn't do nothing, and you followed every steps, changed the battery... There's a chance that u have a defective remote.
