if that is the key price, the only way im getting the new key is when it comes with a car coupled to it.

My key arrived today! I put the blade in, snapped on the grey release tab, unlocked the car, and started the ignition... @ Jamie!

Just placed the order so i'll keep you all updated as to how the processing goes!
Hey you got ur keys yet? I think I'll buy from the Duval as well..
$47.18 before shipping, not bad i guess right?

Make sure you order the blade as well as the key, since the old blade won't work in the new key. Seems like the guys getting the quotes under $50 are just for the key without the blade.

DuvalMotors will not do internet sale for these keys... see post #487 of this thread. Don't know about walk-in prices vs. internet prices for them. Usually they are different. The best bet for internet order is still oempartsdirect. Mine should be here tomorrow... can't wait.

exact same thing with me. all the wondering and second guessing has paid itself off. $70 for a spare key is unheard of. $70 for this new awesome looking key is

i must be retarded or stupid because i tried both and can't get it to work

you have to point the snout of the key (the ir transmitter) at the doorhandle, you'll see an IR receiver (a small black box) on the doorhandle. press and hold the lock or unlock button until the windows start moving. it takes a few seconds to initialize so hang tight.

actually with the bmw you only have to insert the key to put the windows up but to put them down you also hold the unlock button. good thing about the bmw is you don't have to aim it at the door but then again the bmw key isn't as pretty as this one

ok, so I tried it with my M3 and it doesn't work... perhaps it's just on BMW models.

I really don't like the look of that red 'panic' button on the US keys...

Over here we don't have it.

Is it possible to order the euro keys through these guys?
