yes it came with the car, the key that slides out of it opens the door. it must have been programmed wrong. The guy i bought the car from said it never worked, thats why he thought it was a dummy key. I stopped at the dealer ship and bought a key. They will program them both for one price. He gave me the name of the tower that they use which he states has never had one problem with them. He has never seen damage from their tow. That made me feel better at least.
