btw, reprogramming instructions are in the manual.
I'm also probably going to sell my extra IX key blank....

For everyone who needs to program a new key you must have the following:
The new key chipped and cut
2 existing working keys
1. Insert a working key and turn it to the on position for 5 secs
2. Turn the key to off and remove
3. Insert the second working key and turn it to the on position and wait for the Theft-Alarm indicator to blink twice
4. Insert your new chipped key and switch the key to the on position and again wait for the Theft-Alarm indicator light to come on and this time it will stay on for 3 seconds.
If the Alarm blinks three times there was an error and start the process over again.
If you do not have the second key be ready to sell body parts to a dealer to reflash your ecu.

I can't find my alarm indicator light anywhere, I have an 2004 evo8. In the process of programming new key you have to see the indicator light blinking or turn on but I don't see it in the car. Help please
