For anybody who already has 2 working keys, here is a place to get uncut, inexpensive transponder chip keys online:

Jeep Wrangler Transponder Chip Keys

These keys are American Made and will work in all 2007 through 2012 Wranglers

I did the same.....but it was 45 total for the key and the cutting. I programed it myself. If you only had one key they charged 45 for the extra key and cutting and 50 to reprogram the computer.....
