We decided not to use the remote. We bought one key at the dealer (for $45, I think) and had some copies made a Walmart. The copies won't work in the ignition, because of the chip, but they will open the doors. I like have the extra key just in case I do something stupid like lock my keys in the car.

Dealership. Sadly ther is no "reasonable" fee when dealing with remote keyless entry.

Same thing happened to us, and we had to go to the dealership too. But since my husband isn't the main driver of that car, he didn't mind having a key without the remote in it, so we asked for just a regular key. It was still expensive because of the chip in it, but it cost about half as much as the key with the remote.

That's cool you got another car! Congratulations! I understand! My 99 Dodge Durango didn't even come with one! The only place that I can recommend would be Auto Zone. I think Pep Boys and Kragen's might do this, but I have never look there. I have look at Auto Zone cuz my husband and I are looking at getting one for my car! Best of luck!

We bought one for our vehicle on eBay at half the price you'd get one from the dealership.
