2004 Silverado Key Problem

My uncle bought a wrecked 2004 Silverado that he fixed up. It was from a wrecking yard and did not have a key. He bought a key, but it seems to have some theft prevention stuff. Any idea what has to be done to make this new key work??

I think he might have to take it to a dealership and have it programmed to that truck. Many new cars/trucks have chips inside the key, i'm almost positive that the new Silverados have that as well/
