Can anyone please tell me if I can just buy one from Ebay and have it programmed at the dealership? my problem is how much would it be to have the key re-cut? any info would help.

 

i would like this information also, just bought 2010 tl and it only came with one key,

it is possible to program it myself?? after some search on the forum my first thoughts are that it is not. am i right???

 

OP, did you lose yours and NOT have a second one?

 

I was in Lowes on Friday night & walked by their key department and saw a sign about replacing lost key fobs, it basically said why pay dealer prices. I didn't stop to ask what it entailed.

I have to go in there today & will ask about it & update this post later; I wonder if you need your 2nd key fob in order to do it.

Cheers,

Nick

 

I just stopped again at Lowes, the guy told me it's only for fobs that utilize keys to start the car as opposed to ours that have a keyless ignition.

you are suppose to go to the dealer to get it reprogrammed

 

To answer your question, yes you can buy the fob on ebay and have it programmed at the dealership, I went this route for my car. I had a total of 4 registered to mine. I didn't worry about the key blades being correct and have never had a problem with the keyless system to date. I use the ebay ones as my regular key, and the spares (that came with my car) at home incase I ever need the key blade. I remember the dealership charged me ~70 to do the programming.

 

get the key blade from ebay and the dealer will cut and program it for you at one price.

 

Has anyone tried this? Does it work?
