Default No master KEY to program remote

First I'd like to thank everyone that sent me on info I asked for on here.So some of that help had to do with programing my remote.Well I went out to try it but it seems I don't have a master key because I can't lock or unlock the doors with the key I have.So how do I program the remote now with out the master key.Is there something special about the key.It must be a little different for the doors as it works fine in the ignition.Is it something else I will need the dealer to do now that I can't.

sounds like you've got a valet key that will unlock the driver door, but not the trunk, and start the car. does it or does it not unlock/lock the glove box?

You are correct I'm undergoing this scenario as we speak. I just got my master key in from keylessride.com and took it to the dealer to get it cut. Unfortunately, my valet key was a little worn at the tip, so they weren't able to get and accurate cut. So I had them order me another valet key and from that one they will be able to cut my master key and then I can program it.

But yep that is the valet key KCFoxie.

Default New key a dud

It will unlock the glovebox the trunk and will start the car. It will not open the drivers or passenger doors.Even the new key I just bought for $90 will not open the doors.
