Answer 1

You only have 1 choice; the dealer.



If you decide to look around anyway, you'll undoubtedly come across sellers of used keys on sites such as Ebay. Those unscrupulous sellers will tell you that you can have used keys reprogrammed at the dealer for your own vehicle.



This is NOT true.



The FBS3 electronic key can only be programmed once to one VIN. At no point can keys be reprogrammed to another vehicle.

Answer 2

THE car makers make a lot of money off keys These days. They claim it is to prevent theft but it is just to tie you to them rather than letting you use a third party. You are screwed.

Answer 3

Dealer ONLY, there are no third party sources for this and buying off eBay, Craig's list, Alibaba will oly be tossing money into a well.

Answer 4

only source is the dealer and even after the purchase it will have to be dealer matched.

Answer 5

ebay but itll probably be the same price
