I asked this question with my most recent Genesis purchase. The finance Manager was selling a seperate "Lost Key" insurance policy. It seems a replacment key is several hundred dollars. I asked why I couldn't just pick one up on ebay and get it programed. He said it isn't possible for the dealership to do so, and confirmed that with the service manager. Of course, he was trying to sell me something, so a grain of salt might be appropriate.

Here's a link to some info on the smart key.

While I'm sure they are not the authority, it does shed a bit of light

IF you think that is expensive ask what happens if both keys are lost? SOme manufacturers charge really big bucks or have to replace a computer hich is even more really big bucks.
