    I'm not sure how it's done in Australia but here in Canada, the dealer gives you a small dog tag with the key code imprinted on it so that you can program new keys with the code. If you don't have that dog tag, you're SOL as the price of reprogramming will significantly increase as they have to create a whole new set of codes and keys.
