Yes, you need two keys already recognised by the car in order to program it to recognise a third key.
A full set of 2 if not 3 keys should be included in the sale of the car from a dealer FOC. Bit late now probably.
You need 2 keys in order to program a 3rd etc. yourself.
If you only have 1, the car needs hooking upto the diagnostic machine to do the job.
Tim..
thanks Tim the car came from the auctions with only one key (what happens to all these keys ? left in a drawer some place )
