I believe you'll need the services of a dealer or locksmith to program the new fobs.

There seem to be a bunch of videos on youtube showing how to do it, but they all have different methods. Im going to try these when I get the fobs today.

We had a '09 Journey and we could self program additional fobs (up to 8 total). With the '10 Journey that option was deleted and you had to visit a dealer with all the key fobs. As I understand the self programming option was deleted due to security issues. GM may have done the same.
