No remotes - get your keys duplicated. If a local dealer doesn't charge for a "key request" take your keys, VIN, registration, ID and ask for a "key request". The dealer can NOT get the resistance code BUT they can get the mechanical code and they should be able to confirm that the keys are the original code. Make a note of the numbers and carry with.

You can use an OHM meter to measure across the sides of your key pellet and get the OHM reading.That's all it is, just a little resistor.
This is a list of key pellets. Just match which is the closest to your reading and ask for that key code number and it will save you from them charging you to "Read" your key. They will leave the room to use their "mystery code reader" so you don't see them, but that's basically all they are doing.
Once you have the correct blank, it's a snap for the dealer or any other key maker to duplicate your other key.
