Technically you don't need a third key but whatever key is used is sacrificed into the box and you won't be able to get it out ever without destroying it anyways.
Is this for real? They need the key to put in the remote starter?

This seems like the worst kind of after-thought option ever created. I can't imagine these guys can't figure out a way to safely start the car using an iphone/androind app
