Yep, it was $20 a key for me ( or was it both key's). Maybe the $230 includes the remotes, too.

yup you need to tow your car there w/ proper ID of ownership...think it cost about $230 to reprogram and you get three keys...two regular keys adn one grey reprogram key...who ever cut and program the keys are logged in a data base i think, so anything happen they can trace back to

I thought the grey key was a valet key but it also came with a small plate on the ring that had a code on it to tell how to make a key without copying

You can't in New York. It seems like to many people are taking things to far. We might better all lock ourselves in our houses.

I cover mine up so that troll that lives down the street can't use it to become an owner on S2KI.com

Let me just say that in New Orleans it is common. People have found ways around parking tickets that have the license plate number but lack the VIN. It seems to help them keep the meter-nazis at bay.

Did you lift your wiper up? On my car there is a small clear window in the black area at the bottom of the windscreen that the VIN is visible through.
