I'd imaging the dealer would be able to reprogram the old keyfob to the new ignition assembly? Definitely worth asking them about.

thank you for the suggestion. I had that work done. I now have multiple keys now. Ignition is no longer same as door, ski pass through and glove box. Just bummed out about it.
