Only have 1 good key to work with bought 2 keys and 2 fobs from ebay do I have to shell out the 75 bones dealer wants or can I do it myself any help thax.
For transponder keys, you need two working keys to add a third. If it's just a fob, you need one working to add some. $75 isn't too bad. Some locksmiths can to this now, I think.
The "scam" was the dealer who sold you the truck. 'Course, it helps to do your homework. Maybe the dealer can get you a break, although that's still a good price. I paid $132 for a spare key for my 300C and $140 on the spare for my Speed 3. Mercedes and BMW get $300+
I did not buy from and would never buy from a dealer I have worked in dealerships for 40 years and know the trickery of it all when I worked at Dodge we had a DRB on the drive and would program for free it was a courtesy to our customers not a money maker same when I worked at Acura. After completing the truck with purchase price I have 5500 in it but it is new from front to rear and I will have a dependable tow vehicle for years to come and after swapping the 3.92 rear for a 3300 mile 355 I am averaging 15.5 around town and 18.6 hwy so after my last TV that got 8mp very happy with my decision.
