Unless you have the installer code for your system you can't do it. If
you are being monitored, you should not be poking around in
programming because it is quite easy to mess something up.

$200 is ridiculous.  Tell your "service provider" to call the panel up
and program the key for you, all you'll need to provide is the serial
number.
