You don't need the dealership to program a FOB for your car, but you do need the factory radio. You need to purchase a FOB that has the same number on the back of it as your original.

Here are the instructions on programming, This is from my 2004 owners manual.

Programming Mode
To reset or customize the features, first enter the
vehicle customization main menu. To enter the main
menu, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition to ACC or ON. The radio
must be off.
2. Press and hold the TUNE DISP **** on the radio
for at least five seconds until SETTINGS is
displayed.
3. Press the SEEK PSCAN up or down arrows to
scroll through each available feature on your
main menu.
4. Press the 1 PREV or 2 NEXT buttons to scroll
through the lower menu. An asterisk (*) will
appear next to the item that is the current setting.
The following information shows how to reset or
customize features after entering the main menu
FOB PROG (Remote Keyless Entry
Transmitter Programming)
This feature allows you to match the remote keyless
entry transmitter to your vehicle. To match the
transmitter do the following:
1. Scroll, using the SEEK PSCAN up or down arrows,
until FOB PROG appears on the display.
2. Press the 1 PREV or 2 NEXT button to enter the
submenu. BEGIN will be displayed.
3. Press the TUNE DISP button to start programming.
When the message PUSH FOB flashes, press and
hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the
first transmitter at the same time for 15 seconds.
A chime will be heard to verify the transmitter
is learned.
4. Repeat Step 3 for each additional transmitter.
The transmitter is programmed now. You can either exit
the programming mode by following the instructions
later in this section or program the next feature available
on your vehicle.

You need to program both remotes

If you have an aftermarket radio then (unfortunately) you are destined for the dealership.
