Once the car is in "programming mode," one or more buttons on the fob are pressed to send the digital identification code to the computer. The computer then saves the code and removes the car out of programming mode.

Some manufacturers require you to have a special advanced programmer to program key fobs, and some are costly and difficult to use for a common person. This is why it is generally better to let a locksmith in the automotive industry or dealer do the job for you.
