The dealer wants a pile of cash to do this but they sort have you over a barrel since you do not have access to the program. A good locksmith would probably have access and cost less.

Yeah, that's a good interpretation. In my world, initialize means to wipe clean and start over though, not just activate.
I'm going to hit up Ace next if batteries don't work, as they say they can do this for 60% less than a dealer; and support this car and year. Not that I hold out hope of Ace ever being a "good deal"!
