I had a key cut and programmed to the car by a local locksmith. I suggest you
call around and ask. Don't get confused by the fact that there are two types of programming commonly confused with each other. They are:
1-Programming the key to the car.
2-Programming the remote key FOB to work with the car. This is the one that
will flatten your wallet at the dealer. I did see a dealer program an unprogrammed FOB with a working one in the ignition key slot a long time ago.
Unfortunately I can not reproduce the sequence.

Good Luck and Blue Skies!!!!
