Yes, you can do it yourself.......IF you have two programmed keys already. Sounds weird I know, but google it.
I did it for a 2006 jeep liberty.

With a scanner they hook up to computer of the vehicle.
Back to the other question, did you replace the battery in your original, if it went dead and you replace it it generally holds the program.
Quote:$75 is cheap. It would cost twice as much here to do the same thing.
One of the remote control keys on my 2007 Jeep Commander has stopped working. I have a friend that has a brand new key blank that has never been programmed, but the dealer here wants $75 to program it to the lock. Is there a way to do it myself?

There are two layers of security here. One for the chip in the key and another for the lock/unlock buttons. The highest security is for the chip. Since it is entirely passive, I doubt your chip is bad. I am thinking it will start and run the car just fine once you are inside. This is the part you need to allow a third key to be made without the computer.
The second part is where you have the failure. The fob portion is a lot less secure. Fobs can be cloned by locksmiths without computers. Even some parts houses can clone working fobs. Check and see if a locksmith can clone a fob for you to put on your dead key to get you inside and start the car with your broken key. You will look so 2003 with a separate fob but lot less light in the wallet.
