Answer
Hi Edwin:

I was sort of puzzed when I started to read this then I got to the end an BINGO remote start. that's the issue for some reason what ever they added to the van to make the it start and run by bypassing the factory anti-theft device is the reason you can't get the new key to program. So that is where I would start looking. I AM NOT a fan of these systems that are added onto car/vans/trucks they cause more trouble then they are worth. Good luck :)
