make a spare key without going through the stealership?
hey I just wanted to make a spare key for my CL .... I learned the hard way that a spare key made at a hardware store... unlocks the doors but won't start the car
is there a way around to make one with without contacting a dealer

It has an immobilizer chip in the key that must be present for the car to start. Its a security feature so that the car can't be started with anything but the key that came with the car (or a factory replacement).
