OK, I get it. So it's $150 for each fob, then $XXX.XX for the dealership to program. Awesome. Thanks for the input, everyone.

And now I understand the spoiler light behavior is normal as well. So nothing more to freak out about!

Alright... my local dealer charges $185 for the key and $85-92 for the programming (I got a range when I called... don't know why.)

I'm inclined to spend the extra $35/key vs. buying from a guy on ebay to rule out any "oh, that's an aftermarket part and we can't support it" argument.

But I'll continue looking to see if I get a better answer from an independent shop or perhaps locksmith. If I learn something great, I'll pass it along here, for sure!

The spoiler light is normal and there is a switch in the footwell next to the fuse panel. Right by your left foot.
