Hello all

As the title suggests, iv lost the keyless entry/go card for my car . Using the key seems so prehistoric now

But i wanted to get a replacement from the likes of ebay, just wanted to know what the deal is with them being programmed/paired to my car, especially one that has been used on another car before hand?

I know its a dealer only job, or atleast someone with a Star Machine, but there seems to be a few different kind of key cards out there even though they look the same. Something to do with the FCC ID matching on the back of my key card to the one im about to purchase. Unfortunately i have no way of knowing what the FCC number on the back of mine was

Any help/suggestions in getting another key card, preferably not from the dealers?

This is the type of key card that i had.

If the Key Card is anything like the standard key they are one time programmable, which means that unless you get one that has never been paired up to a car you will be out of luck. The only place to get a replacement that you know will work is through the stealership. Good luck on your search.

Please tell me your kidding

A key card that is programmable only once is the biggest waste of time.

Im going to pop into the stealership today to find out if this is the case, and if it is, then how much they wanna pull my pants down by.

I have a similar issue.... My key card does not work at all. So I would be really interested in knowing how much a new one/getting one reprogrammed will cost. Keep us updated!

Each dealership sets its own price, so what he finds will be only a very rough indication of what it will cost you...
