A reputable automotive Locksmith can supply you with a new key
Does anyone know of a way to program a new key for one of these, or must I rely on the Stealership. It is one of the keyless start fobs which are never supposed to leave your pocket.
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

I already have the key fob, I've just got to program it.

I don't think you'll be able to do this yourself.
The dealership or a locksmith will program it but it probably won't be cheap.

Sadly WhiteOX I suspect you are correct, Have been harrassing son to take it to work and get it done, but, so far, no joy. (Yes, he works at a stealership).

Had a similar issue with a Toyota, the fob needed to be 'married' to the vehicle's security system IE the changes are made to the vehicle, not the fob itself.
Yeah I know different brand but the process might be very similar.
That’s correct - at least for older cars. The dealer wanted $50 to fix the key programming for my Nissan. A bit of Google Fu revealed that it was a matter of locking all the doors, then turning the ignition key on/off/on a certain number of times to put the car into a “learning” mode. Push the button on the key and the doors unlock + hazard lights flash. Job done.
I think the key transmits a different code each time, in a pre-defined sequence. The learning process teaches your car the unique ID of that particular key, plus where the key is in its sequence of codes.
The keyless start proximity transponders are something I’ve never dealt with, It could be as simple as my car, or you might need a special device to plug in to the car.
If you take it to a dealer you might pay an hours labour so something like $120.
