Let's do some math shall we?
AP1 = A*P*1
AP2 = A*P*2
therefore AP2 is 2x an AP1
Sorry, it's not me, it's just math!
this one too...
AP2 = x
AP1 = y
x>y
AP1 = A*P*1
AP2 = A*P*2
therefore AP2 is 2x an AP1

this one too...
AP2 = x
AP1 = y
x>y
So if should look like this
AP1 = X
AP2 = Y
X>Y

My car came with only one key, too. Instead of paying $150 for another master key, I opted to get a valet key for $45. My master key is the spare and I use the valet key. This works for me because 1) I don't lock the console compartment and 2) my after-market alarm has a button on the remote to unlock the trunk.

nah,
i thought of the valet key as well. the key only works the ignition and the door lock... no trunk, no console.... and (as jim pointed out) cheaper.
it looks like a stop at the dealer is in store for me today.... and just step up.
see ya'll saturday

The AP1's don't need to be programed in the car like the AP2's. They can take the code off one key and program it onto another. The AP2's are a little more secure.
I had mine done at the parts counter. maybe 8-10 per key.

so this whole ap2 ap1 debate classic indeed.
but what happens when my ap2 revs to 9k AND is 2.2?
