KEYS - programming..??
I bought the car and all it came with is the valet key. My girlfreind bought me a remote/blade. i was able to program the keyless entry myself but heard that i have to get the key programmed or it will disable my ignition if i try to start it again on the 2nd or 3rd try.

My question is do i need to take it to the dealer to get this programmed? its gonna cost me about $100 just to program a dam key there. Any suggestions? Can a locksmith do this?

I heard you can program it yourself and I have seen guides online. The locksmith is only able to cut the key for you to match the valet key.
