smart key reprogramable?
Hey guys it's my first post on this awsome site 
i just have a little problem. i accidently washed my key ( yeah i know it happens to the best of us) and the infra red part of it doesn't work anymore. i can lock/unlock the car but i can't start it.
i called the dealer for a new key and they quoted me $250 CDN, and they also told me it has to be a new key since apparantley the keys can't be reprogrammed. is this true or can i just but a $20 key of ebay and get them to reprogram it?

I checked that site but it does not have a listing for smart keys, where are you getting it for under $70?

I don't know if they upped the price, if they did that sucks *****. The part numbers are posted somewhere on MBworld. Search this forum and there will be a link. It is imperative that you use these part numbers.

By Group Buy Special, do you mean the 25% off? Or is there another special that I can't find?
