Thanks for the reply Klaus. I'm aware that these keys are not chipped. Local dealer made some dupes for me - including a new master key. Dealer also confirmed that my ignition switch was replaced - which is why my ignition key is different from my door/glovebox/trunk key. Always suspected, but good to know for sure.

I've been reading about fob programming on a lot of different forums. Some say 98 required a dealer tool, some say that the limitation doesn't come in until 1999 and later models with plenty of folks praising the 98.

Still other folks complain about the receiver being really weak.

A couple relevant bits about my car - DOES have the flashing alarm receiver light-thing in the middle of the dashboard - Also has a flashing alarm light in the center console (radio). These are supposed to be the requirements for self-programming.
