Is that both keys for 23.00 or 23 each. I need to order a set myself, now that we are on that subject. Hey tubby, how much was it when you got the key cut?

PATS keys are very easy to program IF you have two working keys, if you only have 1 the dealership will have to program it
cost of keys at the dealership hear is $25 per key and programming is $40 for up to four keys
if you have two keys then just have the pats key cut only then
(1) insert first programed key and turn ignition on(dont start) and wait for the PATS light to turn off
(2) after PATS light turns off, quickly repeate with 2nd programmed key
(3) after PATS light turns off, quickly insert 3rd key (unprogrammed key) and start the car, key is now programmed

All I know is that the dealership made like 5 or 6 copies of my key and never did get them to work. I still need a copy made but don't have any faith in that dealership.

Very good to know, maybe I should pick up a couple and "stock up" while I still have 2 good keys.

along with a couple other people here, i keep the two orignal keys at my house just in case i lose my normal key, i will always be able to program a new one.

what Pektel said!!!
The keys are only $26.95 retail!! we charge 45.00 to program however many.
so..... 50 for 2 keys 45 to prog= 95.00
UNLESS of course it is a "keyfob" key then it could be 78.00!!

ya i have seen places use a key cloner
the only thing with the "cloned" keys is that the "code" is copied so you cant use the keys to program more keys or program a remotestart bypass (you can still do the old school "keep a key under your dash" but who wants to do that)
even if the dealership was more expensive (which its not see post #7 and #17) it is still better because you need two propperly programmed keys to make your own
