Hello all,

I just bought a TCH and have enjoyed reading these posts. Does anyone have any information about obtaining replacement keys? I've read some horror stories about the expense of replacements for similar cars, and I thought I would do some research before the inevitable happens.

I have seen a post somewhere that said they were upwards of $300 each and you have to go to a dealer to have them program or mate a new one to your car somehow. I don't know how accurate that is but needless to say I'll be holding on tight to the 2 I got with the car....

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were $300 each. My husband's VW Jetta's keys are almost that expensive. Gone are the days when I can have a spare car key made at my local hardware store...

I believe the post several weeks back said if you lost BOTH keys and they had to match up with your car it was $300. It's considerably cheaper (but still mot cheap) if you simply have a copy made with an existing key available. This is pretty much the same with other cars that have the same types of key systems

Thanks for the replies. My dealer quoted $300 per key (labor included), which seems consistent with the responses here.
