How Much Is the Key Fob???
Ok, so I'm trying to get a new fob (mine was stolen) and I'm getting quoted different prices.
I'm told, at least by one source, the key is $338, + another $56 to program it. Another dealer told me the key is $278, + another $104 to program it.
What's going on? How much ARE these things? And what should it cost to program it.

When I purchased the '07 CHV I had them trow in the 3rd spare Fob and key gratis which they were most happy to do.
Elmhurst Toyota, Elmhurst IL. also has great prices if you tell them you heard from them through the "Supra Forum".

When we picked up our car our salesperson told us that replacing a key fob would be about $300, so that sounds pretty accurate.
I have to say, it is also around $300 to replace my husband's VW Jetta key fob and it's not nearly as technically fancy as the TCH key, so I don't feel quite as bad about it.

We're still waiting for our car -- supposed to be this Thursday, keeping our fingers crossed -- but I asked about how much it would be to get an extra key fob. The sales guy said it was $500. Sounds like typical pre-sales hype to me...

After a lot of negotiating and calling around to various dealers, I ended up paying $323, all-in. So $500 is hype, but its still ****ed pricey.
And that does NOT include a cut key. Just the fob + programming. The tech had never done one before, and the dealership had never sold one. It apparently wasn't particulary easy to program.
