To program a key fob for a 2008 Jeep Compass, first enter the vehicle and close all doors. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position without starting the engine, then turn it back to "Off" and repeat this step three times. On the third turn, leave the key in the "On" position; the locks should cycle, indicating the vehicle is in programming mode. Finally, press the "Lock" button on the new key fob within 30 seconds to program it, and repeat this for any additional fobs.
A scan tool is required.
it has to be done by the dealer. =(

I believe you have to take it to a Jeep dealership & they can program it. If you keep pressing the unlock button on your key fob (about four times) it will start chirping. The same for locking.
go to programyourremote.com and it will tell you how to do it for free.
Just had (Nov 2008) my key and fob replaced by dealership in West Lebanon NH. Cost $52.90 for the Key Blank, $64.30 for the FOB Transmitter, and $25.50 labor to cut key and program the fob, for a total of $142.70 plus about 1 hr drive time and wait time at the dealership.
