If you have the key that has the remote lock/unlock buttons on them you can program them to work. The directions are posted on this forum.

Local locksmith wanted 116.00 for a master key with no buttons. Sewell online will sell you one cut to your VIN and ready to go for around 70.00. Sounds like you only have a valet key. If you do not have a master key with buttons to program the new key, you will have to have locksmith or dealer program it for you at extra cost.

take the cylinders out, and have them coded to match your ignition key.
