So really, I can't imagine how you could do it for less than 90 bucks but these prices are all for VW's where a new key from the dealer is about $330, so maybe you're vehicles key components are cheaper. Really I think 90 bucks sounds like a steal but thats probably just because I only have one key for my Golf and can't imagine paying 300+ for a new one.

For VW's I'm almost certain you can program your own blank key that you can just buy on the internet. I know for Audis it has the instructions right in the manual, and most things VW and Audi are the same.
