{snicker} generally, the 'programming' that the dealer touts as a big critical service simply
involves inserting the Smartkey in the ignition and letting the EIS interrogate the key...
i.e. a simple handshaking process. normally the turnaround time is less than it takes to eat a
hamburger...if it is needed at all. frequently the key is plug n play. regardless, the owner
can perform this part themselves and forego the $50~ if they're aware of the process
