Your dealer is flat out WRONG.
There are plenty of stories of people who had to buy a new alarm ECU (>$750 not including labor) but that's only necessary if the system is armed AND you lose all the remotes. Why? Because the "flash ROM" in the ECU is "immobilized" and you can't clear the memory without the exact remote that set it that way.
But if you can start your car with the key then your ECU is NOT immobilized, thus you CAN replace the remotes.
Just buy a new remote (or two) from eBay and bring it to a dealer (preferably one with a clue). They WILL be able to program them for less than an hour's worth of labor.
