***New Key Fob Help***
Hi everyone I have a dying key fob/broken case, so I'm really wanting to purchase a new set.
While I'm at it, I only have 1 set of ignition key, and I'm not sure how to go about getting a new one.
1. Can I get a new ignition key from Ace? Or does it absolutely have to be through the dealer? Because I know anything through the dealer can be very expensive.
2. I'm thinking of purchasing this key fob from ebay and programming it myself, will this work fine?

3. If I were to purchase that off of Ebay and program it myself, then does my original key fob stop working? Because the whole purpose of this is to have a spare lol I think I've just read somewhere on the site that you have to program them at the same time or something? Or else only the new one will work? Can someone confirm?
Thanks you ahead of time
