04 Key Repalcement

So I've got a 2 working keys that starts the car, (the original separate key & remote, and a flip key that I programmed afterwards).

I got another flip key recently cuz the existing one is kinda breaking apart. I know I could program the new key myself if I get a locksmith to cut it. What about the remote part though? Would I have to go through the dealer?

Same procedure for flipkeys and older remote fobs.

Don't you have to get the RFID/lock whatever it is part programmed as well? I know it's easy to program the fob, but what about the actual ignition part of the key?
