Walmart can cut programmed keys for the 8 now...
 
So, can they program and cut the switchblade key? Or do I have to go to the dealer to get it programmed? I only have 1 key and my fob died. : |

Walmart can't program your keys, they can cut them, thats about it.

U need 2 working keys to program a 3rd key. So if you have only 2 and one is dead. you have to go thru dealership, if u have the new, uncut key ready, they probably just gonna charge you an hour of labor. thats about it.

yeah they are only going to charge you one hour of labor to do a 5 minute process.

oh wait - that 1 hour of labor is $100

$100 for a 5 minute process!!

WIN!

yeah i just had to go thru this. i paid 95, and i brought my own blank keys. good thing is for 95 they cut and programmed both, since after you have 2 it's easy to program. if you only have 1 key just let the dealer do everything

i did a dyi on this is the diy forum. it only costed me 45 to cut and program my switchblad key

Just thought of something though...Walmart can make me a 2nd key and with that 2nd key, I can program my 3rd key and the fob...

Would that work!? At $160 for a program job from my dealer, $50 and a 3rd key is a steal!
