Keys and remotes are dealer programmed ONLY. Some dealers charge $250 for a new key plus new remote. If the remote has a cracked case, you can just buy a new case and move the inards to the new case. You cannot disable the security system without disabling the car.

The Tbelt was probably replaced at 90-105K along with the tensioner. The life of the tensioner that came with 1999s was shorter than 105K for many cars and dealers were instructed to replace them early. Dealer replacement charge is close to $400.
