Programming a second key

I've found conflicting information after searching the forum.

Here's my situation. I have one key for my Ex.

Is there a way I can program a second key using some procedure, software, etc? Or, are my only options a locksmith or dealership.

Thanks!

Forscan can do it if you want DIY, otherwise any locksmith can.

I called a mobile locksmith, dude came to my driveway, cut and programed me two new keys for $40 (this was before I even knew Forscan existed). For the cost, I'd probably just call the mobile locksmith again because even if you can program keys, you most likely can't cut them too.

a year ago, the locksmith charged me $75 to program one key, and then he said:

"now that you have two keys, you can program as many as you like, as long as, they are a PATS key"

just follow the steps in the manual, IIRC,

Forscan can program a second key if you only have one key?

This thread reminded me that I have a few new transponder keys listed in the marketplace if anyone is interested.
