Also suggest calling around to dealers or see if yours will price match other dealers. I ordered a fob & key from Silver Springs, they were cheaper then everyone. Then took it to the dealer to be programmed. Fob should run you under $150 & key should be under $60 (think it was much less can't remember). Less then 1 hour labor & your tow. I would get 2 keys if you can swing it.

the other option is to find a DME/Immobilizer with keys on ebay. That's what I did for my 2000 and it was under $300. I already had 2 keys but the fob buttons quit working some time ago. No programming necessary. You would still need the key blank, but any dealer can order that & ship it to you for you to put in the fob at home.
