RE: Need new key
If your not looking to buy a fob this is the way I see it. I used to do the programming of the keys and fobs at the dealer I used to work at... Raise your hand if you have ever gone to a hardware store and had a key made... now raise your hand if the key didn't work exactly the way it was suppose to...
The way I see it is, why pay $45+ for a blank key from the dealer, take it to the hardware store, then learn it was not cut correctly and pay for another $45 blank key.Programming the key you can do yourself through the truck if you have another programmed key. The fob can only be programmed through the dealer scan tool. I would just shell out the dough for the dealer to take care of it, and be done with it.

I personally wouldn't have taken the truck off the lot without a 2nd key. Any good dealer would have picked up the cost of this relatively inexpensive item to keep your business.

RE: Need new key
I am a locksmith in oregon. i also own a 06 QC with the Keyless entry system. This is what I recomend to people with 1 key.
The first question is do you need to have an extra key with a remote or a regular key that will start the truck? If just a regular key go to the dealer and get the key code and the pin code. the latter is the most important! Once you have that go to a good auto locksmith that has a T-Code Pro machine or a MVP system, that machine a locksmith can program a key for about the 60-80 range, we charge 70 at our shop.
If you want the remote key purchase one off e-bay but make sure its new, I have seen several that are cut keys and that wont help you for beans..anyway, get the key and again go to a locksmith with those tools and they can program both the remote anad the sentry part of the key. You can also buy the key/ remote from keylessride.com they are based in texas and sell them all the time.
Good luck e-mail if you have any questions pls313@yahoo.com

RE: Need new key
Not that this will help you, but I bought 2 newblank keys off of ebay for around 35 to 40 bucks. I took them to Ace because they have always cut good key for me. Since they were my keys, they didn't charge me to cut them. I then followed the directions to program them. However, you must have two good programed keys to program one by your self. I did and was able to program them both without any problems. I now have 4 good keys. I got 2 extras because mine had the remote built into it and I got an after market alarm and remote start and did not want both remotes. By the way I have an 06.

RE: Need new key
OK, so this is the conclussion to my key problem. I bought 2 keys and 2 keyless fobs from ebay that cost me 75 bucks delivered to my door. Then I went to the dealer here and had them cut and programmed all for only 38 bucks. So all together I paid 113 bucks for everything. I am very happy with that price considering the dealer wanted 150 just for 1 set. Thanks for all the help and advise.

RE: Need new key
I am not sure if you can do that or not. Look on ebay and see if yhey offer that. This is the place I bought mine from. I went with this guy because I could call and actually talk to someone.
