I just bought a s2000, but came with only one key and remote. I bought additional 2 remotes from ebay, however, I cannot find any blank key for s2000.

Your dealer. It has a coded magnetic pellet in it. You will not find one that your car will recognize anywhere else.

There's also instructions in the owner's manual on how to program your remote.

Your dealer will cut and program your key for you. The cutting is free the programming part they charge.

This is free enterprize at its best, isn't it? and at the same time!

Programming a new remote transmitter can be done at home. It's just a series of combinations of pushing button, etc given a set time frame to do it. However, teaching your immobilizer to accept a new key is a whole different story. You need a PGM tester to access your ECU so it will learn the new key.

When I bought my last car it only had one remote and key as well. I complained and the dealership got me another remote, chipped main key, valet key and programming for free. It's worth asking since it should come with them. Although I made the arrangements before signing any paperwork. Since you already bought yours they may be reluctant to "hook you up" for free.
