I searched the forums, but didn't find an answer to my question --

I own a 2004 Bonneville SE. When purchased from the dealer, this was a courier car owned by the dealership. They could not locate the 2nd ignition key (or fob) for me, so I've always had just one. Now that my daughter is getting her driver'* permit, I want her to have a spare key.

The key I have has a black top (where the key ring fits). It does NOT have a visible chip or resistor on it.

Can I go to the local hardware store and have them cut a key?
OR, do I need to order a key from the dealer?
- If from the dealer, what do I need to give them in order to get a new key?
- What do the "dealer keys" cost?
- While I'm at it, should I order another fob and have them program everything at once?

THANKS for your input!

you need a "PK3" Pass Key 3 key. There is a chip Inside of that black plastic, you just cant see it.

and if you want to get another FOB programmed, you must see the dealer to get it programmed via the Tech 2 Programmer
