    Used or new? Used can be tricky to reset to unused status before programing to the car

    If you look for the sellers on eBay who offer re-virginized used fobs, you'll also find some who will virginize a used fob that you send them; the going rate seems to be about $20.

    That would be awesome. So, once virginized - can the keyfob once returned, be chicken danced into programming with the car?

    Your profile mentions a Gen 2, but I think this thread has always been about Gen 3 fobs.

    Yes, a revirginized Gen 3 used fob can be registered to a car. I am not aware of a chicken dance for it in Gen 3, but it's straightforward with Techstream.
