You mean the remote key fob?
The dealer MUST recode / reprogram up to three total fobs at one time.
New ones, and ONLY NEW UNITS should be purchased from the dealer as they are partially programmed to your car due to VIN matching.

Don't buy e-bay fobs they can not be matched to your car.

i've seen it but i don't know how it can be done.

No ONLY from a dealer.
People try to sell there old FOBs on ebay and other sites just to get some extra cash and once used or coded they are not allowed to be coded for another car. Major safety and liability problems if they were.
