help! spare key without parting with a bundle?
I just bought a 2002 RL. The dealer only gave me a grey key and a keyless remote. I've since learned the grey key is a valet key. He has no other keys. I'd like to get a copy of the key (with transponder) but don't want to pay the dealer big bucks. Am I screwed?

Yeah, the transponders are NOT cheap. It IS for anti-theft purposes afterall.

Key
The key should only be between $20-$35....it's about $32 at the dealer I work at..
We have a machine we plug the key into and it "copies" the transponder code to the new key...the parts guys do this..no extra charge..all you need is a key that starts the car..no need to replace anything at all..ask them about the T5 key!! Let me know how this goes..
PS-you do not always need the red key!! trust me...
