Could someone explain the steps i have them, but the timing is what im confused with...

the step where they have you open and close the door 3 times, then leave it open kind confused with that...

Just to make sure here's the directions again.

Have all the remotes that you are going to be using, maximum of 3, with you when you do this programming as all of them have to be reprogrammed into memory.

Step 1: Open driver side door and leave open.

Step 2: Lock and Unlock the drivers door using the power door lock switch on the door

Step 3: Insert key into the ignition.

Step 4: Turn Key to ON position and return to Lock (off) position. Do this 3 times within 10 seconds. LEAVE key in the ignition in Lock (off) position.

Step 5: Close and open the drivers door 3 times. Leave door open after this step

Step 6: ECU should respond by locking and unlocking the doors once.

Step 7: Press any button on remote #1 twice. ECU responds by locking and unlocking the car doors.

Step 8: Additional remotes, repeat Step 7 for up to 3 remotes total.

Step 9: Remove the key from the ignition and the ECU will respond a final time with a series (about 4) of door locks and unlocks. You're done!

The only thing you need timing on is turning the key ON/OFF which you must do three times within 10 seconds. As to confusion about opening/closing the door....... start with the door open per step 1. During step 5: close the door and open it again, close the door a second time and open it again, then close the door a third time and then open it again leaving it open. That's it.
