Lost My Car Keys

[canada_hdk21]

Hey guys managed to lose my car keys a couple weeks ago and after some time in denial that i would actually find them laying around the house somewhere i have given up

So it's 200$ for the key at the dealership and another 85$ for the programming, anyone ever lose their keys before of know of a place where i can buy the key cheaper? I mean i know i will have to pay the 85$ to get is programmed at the dealership, but perhaps there is a cheaper key i can buy

its for a 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse

A quick Google search will tell you how to program your key fob. Don't waste your money by getting the dealer to do it.

My wife recently lost her keys and fob for our chevy traverse. After the rediculous quote from the dealership we used ebay. We got 2 fobs for $50 and key blanks with chips for $12 each. Once you get the fobs they email you programming instructions and it worked well.

Depending on the brand of car you may or may not be able to program them yourself anymore. For our traverse it was anyting 2011 or newer needed to be programed by the dealer but we could still buy the cheap fobs.

All told instead of $500 for Fobs, Keys and programming we spend $70 and got two sets of everything instead of just one.
