You can find it by searching.

I programmed my smart key fob, there is also a way to program your standard key as well.

Much cheaper to do on your own, not that hard and you can also configure some cool settings!

We’re you able to program the wireless lock functions also?

It can easily be done yourself for less than $50. I just got done programming 3 keys myself. Both the immobilizer and the wireless remotes. I put some notes and links to other threads in my mod thread here --> Key Programming

You will need techstream and a cable here's my quick notes on that -->Techstream

Search the forum for the long techstream thread if my quick notes aren't enough to get you going.

Yes I see on your build thread about using Techstream and programming the key, and having them cut. But how did you program the wireless door lock/unlock buttons?

You program the wireless remotes using techstream as well.

You can have up to 5 wireless remotes. You can also erase all the existing immobilizer/wireless remotes and start all over with 5 new ones. Helpful if you have misplaced a key.

Wow. Is it under the “Utility” menu with the immobilizer? It didn’t program it when I programmed the chip. I’m wondering if I should erase all and start over.

No don't erase the immobilizers, the wireless remotes are done in a different spot with a whole different set of instructions.
You go to MainBody, then hit utility and it should bring up wireless remotes section. Here's a youtube video on the whole process.

If I ever meet you, I’m buying you a drink. Or three. Thank you so very much.
