Program instructions for 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee remote

Hello All!
I am in search of the programming instructions for the keyless remote for my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have 1 working remote right now and was given a second one from the person I purchased the vehicle from, but I don't want to have to go back to the dealer and pay another $45 to get the second one programmed. I was told to google it, and have found several other vehicle program instructions, but not for the a 2004 jeep grand cherokee.... So does anyone out there know the programming procedure to do this yourself? any input is appreciated!

or can anyone tell me how to add an additional remote to the one that is already working?

Sorry, there is no way to self program the remote on your model, the dealership is your only option. Only keys can be programmed by the owner.

What do you mean by the "key"? I already have one working remote, I just wanted to program the other one to work with my jeep. I have googled and googled and still have not come up with instructions for my 2004 jeep, but found a bunch of other ones. So I was hoping someone out there knows how to do this..... :shakehead

Huh?? I thought I made myself perfectly clear; the reason you haven't found anything after you googled and googled for instructions is because of what I said in my first reply -- IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR AN INDIVIDUAL, OTHER THAN A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, TO PROGRAM OR ADD YOUR NEW REMOTE, regardless IF YOU HAVE ONE OR A HUNDRED WORKING NOW!
:banghead:

By key I mean the thing you insert into the ignition to start the engine, by remote I mean the grey or black thing with buttons on it you use to lock/unlock the doors.

Sorry if you don't like or won't accept my answer, but you will find out sooner or later on your own, I was just trying to save you some time, but that's looking like an effort in futility.

Bob, there are some hard-headed people on this forum that refuse to believe folks that know a whole lot more than they do. Or else cannot understand English. Geeez pay the man his $35 dollars and get the damn remote programmed. Stepping down from soap box...

Wow, I am so sorry I asked. I didn't mean to insult anyones intelligence on here. Correct me if I am wrong, but, I thought that is what these forums are intended for.... to ask questions. The reason I said about googling for the instructions is that the dealer I bought the jeep from told me to google it instead of paying the "jeep" dealers prices. And I have come across alot of programming instructions, for different vehicles, including jeeps, but just not the one that I own. So, within my google results, I came across your forum here, and thats why I registered and posted my question. Obviously that was a mistake.......:disappoin

Nugrl,
I apologize if you thought my reply was a little harsh, but your response to my answer was a complete non sequitur so I thought a more straightforward description was in order.

You didn't insult anyone's intelligence and posting here was not a mistake, you got the answer you were looking for and automotiveforums.com is an excellent source of information that you should use in the future if needed.

Can someone elaborate on HOW to program the remote? I have a scan tool. I have a degree in programming. I have all the tools needed, but everyone just states "take it to a dealer" - well... I don't agree with that option as I'm in the desert and the dealer and any locksmith is over 120 miles and I'd like to actually know "how" it is done.

Plug in your DRB3 scan tool. Select passenger door module. Select program key fob. Select the programming slot, one or two. Press button on remote. Done.

Yes indeed it does require a specific scan Tool
Nice to have the right tool for the job
