Customer only has one ignition key because he lost one. I never ask the customer to give up their spare key, but I do purchase a blank to cut and then program it following the procedure given in the vehicle owner's manual. Only problem is, for this particular PATS system, the procedure in the manual requires two existing PATS keys to program additional keys. Anyone aware of a procedure out there that only requires one key (besides taking it to the dealership)?

That's what I thought, but I was just curious if there were any shortcuts out there. Thanks.
