Default Re: Cheap ignition key switch fix

Don't know where to really post this question ... I finally had to get a new ignition because of the sticking problem. My mechanic got the part from Mercedes for alot cheaper than from the Chrysler dealership. Fine. He changed it all out and it works great. However, it only came with one BLADE (which he put into my FOB/Transponder). I want/need to get a spare key though. I know I can "program" the transponder/FOB myself (because I read this thread), but the dealership won't sale me a "empty" transponder and "uncut" blade. Obviously, if I supply my VIN to them, and they cut the new key ... IT WON'T WORK in the newly replaced ignition/cylinder. I called two locksmiths and they say they can't get that kind of blade (much less a Transponder/FOB). What the hell do I do to get a spare key then ???????
