Key Programming
I ordered an AE blank from courtesy the other day and now I am needing to get it cut and programmed... I called a couple delears in my area and told them that I had the blank and just needed the cut and program... According to one it would be $100 and when I remarked at how high of a price that was he said it was a very involved process that takes about 45 mins and the mechanic has to do a lot of programming with the computer... this really sounds like to me..
Are there any options besides the Stealership to get this done? (A question probably asked a hundred times on here)- And what should I expect to pay.. .hopefully not 100 bucks...

Your other option is to go to the dealership, find out who has the Consult tool, and offer them $20 on the side to program the key.

At least ur situation wasnt as bad as mine. I lost my kkey, had to get my car towed to the dealership ($100). They couldnt find my key code from my vin so they had to get a lock smith ($75) to make a brand new key. The total charge came out to $166 for one key and $100 for tow. Thank goodness my insurance will reimburse the tow.
