I threw my keys away last week(long frazzled story). Anyway, it has the sensor key and key fob(automatic door slider, etc). I went straight to the dealership and was quoted $50 for the key and $125 for two fobs. Plus, a minimum service charge of 79.95 for programming.
Out of desperation, I went to the websites "keylessride.com" and "keyandfob.com". I ordered a new key and new fob for $46.33. They arrived in the mail 4 days later. Both came with programming instructions. I contacted "autoforum.com" to confirm their instructions. I didn't want to screw up my van.
Happy to report: My key and fob both work and took 4 minutes to program. I put an already programmed key in the ignition and put in the unprogrammed one in the ignition within 5 seconds-instantly programmed. To program the fob, I pulled the program fuse in the panel, turned the ignition on, held down the unlock/lock buttons for 14 seconds-programmed! Try not to throw away keys in the first place, but it really does save to consult the internet. Lana

I think those programmed keys are a big waste of money. I think they just keep the teenagers from stealing the cars, pros still get them when they want them.
I will try not to toss my keys anytime soon.
Mike, just put a big dent in the bumper of your new car like I did and the Pros won't want it anyway. Besides we have minivans!!!
Lana I'm glad you found a good solution to your problem, I'll file the info away for when I lose my keys!
