There is no real cheap way. You have to purchase a transponder key, cut it and program the system to the new new. It may be cheaper to have a locksmith do it than the dealer. They will also come to your house to avoid the tow charge. You may have to go to the dealer first with proof of ownership to get the key code from them unless the locksmith has a way to do that.
