Gentlemen (and Ladies),
I have an interesting situation and would appreciate any advice.
I currently have two Smart keys, each with its auxiliary key, but apparently only one auxiliary key is recognized by the car--the two Smart keys are recognized by the car. I determined this by trying to start the car with the aux keys only, with its paired Smart Key far, far away.
Before knowing about the one aux key problem, I had purchased an auxiliary key and two regular chip keys (not Smart keys) for backup (yes, backup overkill), but now it seems that I don't have what is needed to program these new keys according to the 2-Keys+New-Key programming steps, i.e. with only one recognized Aux key, I can't complete this programming--at least that I know of. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

For those who are wondering about the programming, this is a quick summary.
1. You can program a new Smart Key as long as you have two existing Smart Keys, which are recognized, i.e. stored in the ECU, by the car. These steps involve pressing the buttons on the Smart Key, driver side door and turning ignition, etc.
2. You can program a new Chip Key as long as you have two existing Chip Keys, which are recognized by the car. These steps involve inserting keys and turning ignition sequences.
