I did have to search around to get my key cut. Even 2 of the dealers in Chicago would have had to send it out. I did finally find a dealer to do it. I have heard that an Audi dealer will sometimes do it, since they cut basically the same blade keys...
I assume the 2 button remote would be fine, if your car doesn't have keyless entry it wouldn't matter, as long as the electronic component of the key is coded to work with your car. I believe there are some settings on board to 'pair' the key to the car, so I think you pretty much have to go to someone who can do the programming, regardless. You can't just get it cut, and expect it to work.
