Will an unprogrammed transponder key work as ignition key if a programmed key is installed with remote start?
This would be a great question to ask a good lock-smith. I do know for a fact that the ignition key will have to match the cars security codes before it will start the car. I would think you could use any key as the key you would give up to your remote start system, since all it does is start your car, right? What I don't understand is why they want to charge you $60 to program your key. The way I understand it, the keys are all pre-programed and can't be changed (at least they are for my Buick), they just cut you a new key that matches your existing one. The only time they should charge you to reprogram anything, is if you lost ALL of your keys and they had to reprogram your cars security system to match the new ones. Like I said, a good lock-smith will be able to answer this question for sure and guide you down the right path.
