Thanks to you both for your responses. Two more things I just confirmed are:

1. The second key has no transponder chip. The dealership also confirmed they only used that fob as a service key.

2. The console lock button does not work. Will have to chase that down as well.

I REALLY APPRECIATE your guidance! Many thanks! John
