what did YOU pay for programming keys and/or ABS at the dealer?
Alright basically what the title reads. What did YOU pay for programming/reprogramming your keys to your pcm, and/or your abs unit at the dealer? I'm doing the AT to MT swap and have all the parts EXCEPT the engine, trans, and 6 port pcm.
I would like to get an average idea of what others spent getting keys or their abs controller reprogrammed to give me an idea of the cost for each to decide the most cost effective route for myself (again, cheapest not easiest)
1) Either buying the pump from the same car the pcm came from, or reprogramming my existing abs module
2) Having Mazda reprogram all my keys to the new 6 port pcm; OR getting a pcm with at least one key and have a locksmith code my set
Flame all you want about "wasting money" on the swap, I only spent $370 getting all the parts needed for the swap besides the drive shaft, engine, transmission, and pcm. Plus it is my money, I'll do as i please with it and im doing the swap for the experience more than anything else.
Please, just help me out by answering my question. This thread could also help others know what they should be spending on this kind of service at both dealerships and locksmiths. Thank you

I believe you didnt correctly interpret my first post... Im aware they are different, and i still need to buy one. I also know about the programming key diy and thats not what im asking about. Im asking about my options for programming when it comes to my keys and abs unit to the 6port pcm once its installed.

with Dealer's IDS, it takes less than 15 minutes to do key programming, all they need to do is delete existing code stored, and accept the new ones. You can actually do it if you have the equipment at a Ford dealership and your PATS info, which can be obtain from Mazda for I think 35 bux (unlimited inquires for a day or 72 hours, forgot)
As for ABS module, it should be about the same, they just need to do the "learning" part. and communicate with the rest of the system.
