He said we need to find it and tape it to the steering column until we get a new key, but I think its long gone. I called the dealer and they said if we dont have a key to program it from its going to run about 500.00..OMG!! Suks to be us now. Thanks for the help. maybe this can help someone in the future.
I would just buy an ignition with key from a used auto parts place.
