I've managed to lose, over a 7 month period, both keys, and wonder
whether a new key can be programed by the dealer with use of the vin# or
need to have the car towed to the dealer, who I'll be calling tomorrow,
Sep. 12.

yikes.
Ummm, the keys have to know how to talk to the immobilizer. Typically,
when you get a new key, the dealer cuts it and then copies the
immobilizer info over from the old key.
If there's no old key to copy the immobilizer info from....yikes. In
the past, they've claimed that you need a whole new computer. I doubt
that's really true, but some dealerships will do that. If yours does,
tell them to HOLD ON until you've gone to great lengths to confirm that
(or not, hopefully).

You can get a key with the vin from a dealer...just be prepared to pay
a handsome sum.

Can you find the Valet key? This one will allow the car to be started and
driven to the dealership.
The computer **DOES NOT** need to be replaced!
