Replacing key and keyless remotes.....

Okay, heres my next question, could not find the answer in the stickies, although I might have overlooked it. I just purchased a 2002 SE that only has 1 key, no remote. I know it wont be cheap, but what alternatives do I have to replace 1 coded key and 2 keyless remotes. BTW, I think how to program remotes is in the owners manual, but I do not have that either so if anyone can post a link or email me the instructions I would appreciate it. Thanks again,
Jason.

For my 2K, I bought a blank key and remotes off of eBay, and had them programmed by a dealer all at one shot. Cost me $20-30 for a key and about the same for remotes. Dealer charged me $50 for cutting and programming...

Thanks for help puppetmaster and igzy......another question.......which style of remote should I get....also one ad on ebay says that you have to match up the FCC Id # with your current remote, is that true or will either of these styles work.....

The top pic, with the four buttons in a row are the factory ones. Like mentioned, I got the key blanks off ebay and then had a local locksmith cut the keys and then program them. Was alot cheaper than going through dealer. Got remotes off ebay too, the long ones and programmed myself.

I'm from Australia, and I only have one remote and one key for the car. I'd like to get a spare in case something happens, however, the dealers are quoting me $211 (~US$100) just for the keys plus more to reprogram. Does anyone know if the keys on eBay will work on my car (being an Australian delivered Maxima)?
