Pick up a remote for a few bucks on eBay and program it according to the instructions in the DIY section. Might also find the key blank there as well.

I just priced the 05 key and key fob at my local dealership.. WOW, what a rip off. They wanted over $180 for the key blank and the Fob.

These shouldn't cost so much, its a key and remote.. I guess I'll start looking at ebay somemore. Rosenthal has the set for... here is the link

Pretty much the same price...

Switchblade remote on eBay for about $45, key part $35, get it cut at the local locksmith for free or for a couple bucks and program it yourself - you'll have a nice key for about $80. That's the way to go.

Well, you have to wait for the right auction - it's not that these are readily available everyday, save for the sellers who have an eBay store and are selling these things for a high price. But here is one, for about $50 shipped.
When I bought mine, I got it for $41 shipped. You just have to be lucky I guess.

Thank you for that link Tamas, I hadn't been able to find anything in that price range!

this is a great deal.

I bought it and my wife got mad I spent $50 on a key fob.

Truemagellen: Thanks! I think I will be getting the blank from you then... and probably another spank from my wife..



Hey, total savings this route was about 80-90 dollars..
