Re: "PATS" chipped Keys.....?

The key is easy to come by, the programming is not. For security reasons,
with a single available key, the computer must be interrogated, then new
programming put in to replace the old. In other words, to avoid the
possibility of the missing key turning up in the wrong hands and being used
against your will, the old codes are deleted and new ones put in making the
two keys you now have unique to that car.

Worth the bucks to do, and frankly the only way it can be done. You should
be closer to $60 though for key and programming (1/2 hour charge).

Hope that helps!
