Currently, sunsetimports.com is selling replacement keys for only 88.45-$105. But dont' we have to go to our local dealer to reprogram it; in addition to cutting a new blade? If so, wouldn't that bring back the price for a replacement to around $250? I'm just looking for the best way (cheapest) to get a replacement key.

Thanks.

If you need a whole key, then yes, you have to buy the whole thing and reprogram it. If all you need is the remote, the dealer can replacet he metal key with the new remote head and program it. Dealer do charge different amounts for that job. You may want to post your location and members may know of other places that would do the same job for less

Are you quoting Sunset on the price of the metal key shaft, the remote head, or both?

The metal shaft is ordered pre-cut for your car by supplying your VIN and proof of car ownership. That was about $85 when I bought one from Sunset. The remote heads are more.

If you get a new remote head, it is your car that will be programmed .... not the key.

Do a search. Lots of info on this subject.
