spare keys...???

My wife brought home an '04 Exp. It only has one key. Apparently they have the chip in them and can't be reproduced with dealer help? How can I get another key made and how much should it cost?

Buy the blank on eBay and have it cut anywhere you have keys cut. I think you need two original keys to self program but not exactly sure. Otherwise the dealer may need to program for you. Shouldn't be more than 1 hr labor...maybe $70 plus the cost of the eBay key.

Check you local Locksmith - Had mine cut and programed there for around 40 bucks.
Check E-Bay for keys - For around 20 bucks I got my key free with purchase of a remote (actually ended up buying 2 extra remotes and getting two free keys)

Once you have two keys you can do your own programming. You still have to get a blank and have it cut, but at least you won't need to go to the dealer for the programming (and costs.)

Been reading up about that... And now I have 2 keys will bet another one for a spare/backup.
