Not I, it is extremely hard to program an rfid chip for the start/run function in these cars. It takes the right equipment and quite a long time trying to back engineer those electronics. The sad part is too much incorrect information is out there, and will be forever. One part that confuses is the rfid chip is the small black chip glued inside the FOB, while the RF circuit board where the batteries are is only used to open/close/alarm the car (given everything else is working properly).
