Default New Member-program key fob

Hello to all, just got a 2001 2.0 SE auto, always wanted one so I am happy now.
Though of course I have a problem and its this,
I have read all about how to programe a remote key fob and think I have got it but the question is this.
I already have one working fob (came with car) but have purchased another (for the wife) which is the same No/type etc: so it matches ok but when I re-program it in the car will I also have to re-program my original one as well or will that still work as normal?
And if I do have to will I have to do it at the same time as the new one?
Does this alll make sense to you guys?
Hope someone can help and hope to speak to you all again.

This procedure look familiar?
Do step #13 for ALL remotes you have - otherwise they won't work any more. Incidently, if you lose a remote, you can do this procedure to make the lost one so it won't work any more.

1) Unlock Doors
2) Turn ignition key to "ON" position (II)
3) Press the "LOCK" or "UNLOCK" button on the remote
4) Turn the ignition key to the "OFF" position (0, I)
5) Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position
6) Press lock or unlock
7) Turn key to off position
8) on position
9) lock or unlock
10) off position
11) on position
12)lock or unlock - doors should cycle to indicate successful programming. If you only have one remote, turn ignition to off or don't touch anything. if you have 2+ remotes, go to 13:
13) lock on each transmitter that you need to program

*Steps 2-12 must be performed within 5 seconds of each other. Step 13 can be performed within 10 seconds of step 12.

Well, let us know if it works. I'm not completely sure if UK alarm systems are the same as USA.
