This is the answer you are asking for, but not the answer you want to hear.
You must get the key made at the dealer. There is no way around it.
This is not going to be easy, I went through this fiasco and am very angry about it.
First you must order the key from the dealer and wait for the part to arrive from Sweden, the key has to be specially cut for your vehicle using the VIN#. You must bring proof of ownership, just hope its not locked in the car. Pay the parts department $80 up front for the key and wait 1 week or more for it. Now that your key has arrived you are getting closer. This key will open the door but will not start the car.
Now you have to make an appointment with the dealers service department to have the key programmed to start your car. You must bring the car to the dealer to do this, in most cases this means towing the car to the dealer which can be quite expensive and a major hassle. Now you will pay another $160 for the technicians time to program the key and they have the audacity to also charge you for the CD and software to do this, apparently they charge each and every customer for the software they use to program the key, and they refuse give you the software CD you bought for $75, god forbid they have to re-sell it again to the next sucker that lost his key.
If you also have a key fob for the alarm system to lock and unlock the doors, you can double all the prices I listed, they charge extra for that again. And if that's not enough of a rip-off when you finally get the bill you will notice a $6 extra charge they hit everyone for the OIL, GREASE and SHOP-RAGS they never used while programming your key just to make sure you leave pissed off. grumble how expensive it is, and they'll assure you its a good thing you don't have a new Volvo, since those keys are over $400 each.
