The dealer I purchased my (used) 2017 Hybrid SE from only delivered one intelligent access remote for my vehicle. After repeated "we sent the second one in the mail" or "we'll get it" I know they have no intention of sending it. Thus I'm currently at one remote. How much is it going to cost to get a 2nd remote and get it programmed to my VIN to operate like the first (and only) remote? Before I get the obligatory "how to program more remotes is in the owner's manual" posts, please understand to program more remotes you must have two original / already functioning / already programmed remotes. Then yes in that case, this post would be unnecessary. I also didn't get the original owner's manual which has the key code which is needed by the dealership to program, however, if I understand correctly, service departments can look up the key code via the VIN. I also believe dealerships need the following proof of vehicle ownership (don't want Joe walking in off the street to get an intelligent access remote / key for his neighbor's car): 1. At least 30 years' federal tax returns. 2. Birth certificate. 3. 30 years' mortgage statements. 4. Full set of hand and foot fingerprints. 5. At least 15 different utility bills. 6. Copy of driver's license. 7. Proof of vehicle insurance. 8. Employment history. 9. Salary history. 10. Any other data to initiate DoD Top Secret clearance.
