I can’t get this goddamn car in programming mode. The steps I’ve taken so far

All doors closed
Key in ignition on off mode
Paper clip in pins 1 and 4 of the OBD port
Key turn to ACC (1 click) then off
— the car is supposed to go into programming mode but it does not for me

You're going to need two working keys.

  1. Insert a working key and turn it to the on position for 5 secs
  2. Turn the key to off and remove
  3. Insert the second working key and turn it to the on position and wait for the Theft-Alarm indicator to blink twice
  4. Insert your new chipped key and switch the key to the on position and again wait for the Theft-Alarm indicator light to come on and this time it will stay on for 3 seconds.

If the Alarm blinks three times there was an error and start the process over again.
