If you live in Baton Rouge, contact Tigers Locksmith on Staring Lane. They can sell you a new fob and program it in about 15 minutes.

After a certain year, most models require a car locksmith or a dealership. The car companies are doing everything they can to ensure a vehicle's owner can no longer perform maintenance themselves.

The Battery and Bulb places do it for $60. Ordered one from Amazon and had it programmed there. Cost $160 total vs
$500 through a dealership.
$500 through a dealership.

The car companies
Don't be so dramatic. The key fob is a physical control that grants access to a 50K+ vehicle.
The encryption methods and control of them has changed over the years, but it's not auto companies being unreasonably greedy. Kia has looser controls, and that has government going after them for too loose controls to start a car.
But your solution is ... what?
You can perform a ton of maintenance and mods on your vehicle with a $30 OBDII to USB device, and a $60 program on your laptop.

As the owner of a Chevrolet Colorado, You may find Yourself needing to progRam Your new key fob. This is easy to do, and takes about 3 or 4 minutes. The first thing You will need to do is sit down on the driver's side. Next, make sure all of the doors are fully closed. Push down and hold the unlock button found on the driver's side power lock panel. When You take Your finger off the button, You will hear the doors lock and unlock one time. This indicates You are now in reprogRam mode. Push down the unlock and lock buttons simultaneously, for around 30 to 40 seconds, until the doors unlock and lock a second time. Finally, turn Your ignition to the on position, then back off.

Unless you can find a working system that runs MS DOS I don’t think you’re programming that

Fob Programming help
those are not things you go to the dealer for, they are easy to buy and reprogram yourself.
its just a wireless fob and google has the details on how to reprogram them.
for my truck, its a combo of open and close door, turn key on accessary and then off a set number of times, then push fob buttons and wait for locks to reset and its programmed.
they usually take those flat 2032 batteries, but confirm the battery number you need when you remove it.
google your cars fob program sequence and thats all you need.
often its just a dead battery that is the problem, unless it went through the washing machine.
if the battery died, it doesnt even need programming, just replace battery and its fixed.
