So I lost my key fob....

How much is the dealer going to bend me over for the reprogramming and a new one? Is there a way to program it myself like the older GM models???

Thanks for the help

My came with one since it was considered "Used" from the dealership, even though I bought it with 300 miles

I think he's talking about the remote lock/unlock and trunk, not the actual key.

The keys are Phillips Encrypted keys (yes they are chipped)... but the fob I don't think there is a way we can do it anymore

Really? I would think that an alarm system would be much more expensive?

Update: The new key fob was $70 and I didn't have to pay for the programming!

Thanks for the help all!
