Chipped keys regardless if the have the built in fob. Usually dealer or locksmith can program. Someone else will chime in.

Get your build sheet, if the option below is included in your list, than you have a chipped key.

GXXP Sentry Key Theft Deterrent System

Get your build sheet here.

Since you only have one key, you cannot program a new fob yourself. With two working fobs, you can buy additional keys on Ebay and program them yourself.
