Default Lock Smith

Used a lock smith. Way cheaper than dealer. They may have a fob and can cut you a blank.

$100 with existing fob.

Can't you just program it with the slot in the glove box?

I would swear I programmed mine without the key. But everything I'm finding says it requires the key.
There is a thread on the forums on how to trigger the lock cylinder without the key.
I certainly wouldn't pay dealer prices to program a fob. You can buy a scanner that will do it for less than they charge.
