Hay fellas does any one have a remote transmitter they can sell me! I need one ASAP I have a spare key just need the remote! (as close to me as possible)

 

ebay sells alot for cheap and usually pretty reputable ...

 

Yea I know I'm parked at a meter with no keys. :-(

 

Run home D:

 

If you have a spare key, why do you need the remote?

 

All I have is the actual key part no the transmitter. If I put the key in and open the door the alarm will go off and I can't start the car.

 

oh man that sucks... so what ended up happening???

 

you should be able to unlock the door and start the car with the spare. Lock the door with the spare first, then unlock it with the spare, and you should be able to start the car.

 

I have a set from my first RX-8. Key w/ transmitter and a Switchkey blade with transmitter. PM me.

 

I'm gonna buy 2 blank keys with remotes off of eBay! So all I have to do is get the car to the service center and they can program them right????

 

If you have one key (dont need remote) then yes they can program keys for you. However once you have 2 keys you can program the third one yourself if the dealer is charging you a crap load. You can also program the remotes yourself.

 

I have just the metal key no remote attached so I just need a remote. So if I order the key can I program it or do have to go to the dealer

 

You can program the remote yourself, but if your getting a new metal key then no, the dealer has to program the chip inside of the metal to allow you to start the car with the new key.

 

Ok ok I wanna make sure I got this correct, I have the metal key in my possesion all I need is the remote which I'm buying now, once I get that I can program it myself?

 

yes but one problem is to program the remote yourself you have to be inside of the car. Let me find the site that i used just a min.

 

Here is the process of programming the remote part yourself...

Thanx man ur a life saver!!!

 

Oh ok so how much do u think the dealer would charge for that if u had to guess!? The charged me 200 for my last remote and program so Im really hoping I won't get kicked in the nutz like that again

 

^most likely theyll charge the hourly rate...

 

What's the hourly rate!?

 

Guess he has the remote ie swithblade?
How about the smart key?
Had 2 extra keys made, they open the door and start the car
but I still need to have the smart key CC like card with me

I bought a used smart key cc type on Ebay
key did not work but had it re keyed and hey it worked.

All I need now is to program the smartkey card.
any ideas beside the dealer?

it was $90 to have the key it self programmed at a dealer in Bismarck nd, i programmed the remote part myself in like 5 mins.

 

hay even though I don't have a remote can I still start the car?!

 

you should be able to the acctual chip is inside of the metal key part.
