Ignition Key Replacement
Andy from Newport - Sunday, 14 July, 2013, at 1:03:25 pm

I need to buy a new car key. Dealer wants $400 (including programing). Is there a less expensive way to do this?

Purchase the key head from a discount dealer, such as Sunset or Suncoast and have it programmed for cheap from a local shop.

I opted for the Carrera GT key head because it is a superior design and at the time it was only $10 more. My original key only has two buttons, like the Carrera GT.

If the key electronics failed, buy a head head from Sunset. They see if you can get an independent shop to program it. You'll need to get the key code from the dealer. BTW: it takes 15 minutes to do the programming.
