I got a quote from a local GM dealer for a new keyfob since mine only came with one-figured it'd be expensive since its the key and remote in one unit but they said it'd end up being around $250! I mean dealers are expensive but sh!t for a key? The service advisor told me its $68 for the key itself, almost $200 for the remote fob then it has to be laser-cut by GM and assembled, then programmed by the Tech-II @ the dealer. Anything I can do, or just bite the bullet on this one?
if you bought it new or used from a dealer they owe you two keys on delivery of the car.
when I bought my car it was used and they only had one key so they ordered a second and when it came in.....your right,dealer had to reprogram the 2 keys and car.....i hope you got the car at a dealer so you don't have to pay for it
I DID get it at a dealer, just not GM....they're lincoln/mercury/chrysler/dodge/nissan/toyota
Fail! :buttkick:Quote:

maybe Cleveland pick a part...but you'll still needto get programmed
I found them for $40 from GM.
The keys need to be cut at the factory in Australia. The dealer told me they could not cut one in house. I recently had to replace mine.
they should still have to give you two keys for the car, or atleast cover the charge......but I have been wrong before.Quote:

Why would you need a key recut though? If you have one that needs a new fob, the key goes into the new fob...
