My key broke in the ignition. We know how to remove the broken key but how do I go about getting a new one? I have the key fob just need a new key. Can I get one from home or do I need to have the dealership make a new one. Also how much do they usually run?

Do you have another key? You can program another key your self if you do.

Unfortunately I don’t.

I'm not sure what other option you have but a locksmith or dealer. $$$

Do you have original paperwork, the keys usually have a tag with a code which is the key code. The key may be able to be cut with the code, It may be with your paperwork or in the owners manual docs. If you can remove the key, any key cutting place may be able to duplicate it and program the security code. Ace Hardware may do it, Home Depot may do it.

The vin code gives the key cuts. But even that won't help a DIY'er program it. $$$

Does the broken part of the key still turn in the cylinder (by using thin screwdriver to turn it)? If yes, you can still use the car by just taping the back part of the key, which contains the security chip, very close to the cylinder and then driving the car. You can then just take it to the dealer or locksmith and get the work done. Or if you want to do it for the least amount of money possible, then remove the existing key and try and get 2-3 key copies done with the portion that was broken off. If possible get one key that * doesn't * have a chip in it . The other 'real' keys must have a chip.

• Use the chip-less key or Wrap one key's black back portion in tin foil and insert into the cylinder
• Tape the original broken key's black portion right beside the cylinder.

You can then use that key to program a new one , since it will turn and see the chip from the original key.
- Don't forget to remove the taped back part of the key when programming the new key.

There are several internet sites and youtube videos that give out the simple instructions:
