Nice looking car. I just went thru this with the key on a new car I bought that only came with one key. First, make sure the fob on the top of the key has a good battery. then, if the car is not started for 5 days it disables the remote control on the key fobs. To reactivate them you lock and then unlock the drivers door and then insert the key in the ignition and start the car within 10 seconds. If that does not work and you are sure that the immobilizer module is ok, (it is located under the drivers seat and sitting on the floor pan and is very susceptible to getting wet), Then you will need new fobs. Normal locksmiths cannot program the fobs. The dealer cannot do it either unless you have the series of numbers off the paper tags that come with the new fobs. If you end up ordering new fobs make sure that you keep those tags in case the key fob ever loses the programming. BTW, those key fobs are not cheap and neither is having them programmed. These are great cars, keep up on your maintenance and enjoy.
