How do you program a 2004 Saturn VUE keyless remote?

I bought one from an aftermarket dealer, but no instructions came with
it. Nor are there any instructions in my manual. Saturn wants $49 to
program the remote which takes them 1 minute to do. Anybody know how to
do it? The old GM method of turning on and off the ignition twice while
the lock open switched is pressed does not put the car into program
mode, though I'm sure the part of programming the remote keyless by
holding down the lock and unlock buttons works the same since it is a
typical GM remote. I'll quit using the keyless before I'll pay Saturn
what amounts to $3000 an hour for programming my remote.

According to my Shop Manual. there is no way for Customer to add Key FOBs to
a Vue. It requires a dealer scan tool. I do see auctions on EBAY where the
seller claims to include instruction for a Vue. I suspect they only think
they have working instructions.
