my dash is lit up like a christmas tree, I had the dealership diagnose the problem. I bought a new one from the dealership and I don't know how to reprogram it. What tools will I need and how hard is it to do? I'm an auto body instructor in a high school so I have a good background with cars

Thanks, Dan

The dealer will need to code the unit to the car, you cannot do it yourself.
