Ok, so I returned from the dealer a very happy man today. Mike, your are absolutely correct. If the key loses its communication with the car to lock the doors and open the trunks, you DO NEED to have the card with the code for them to reprogram the key. I had to purchase a new key head for 187.22 and one hour of labor to program it for 109.99 Price of new working key, $ 297.21 It's been a couple of months since I have had to use the key to open the door and quickly put the key in the ignition before the ten second time limit then reach across the passenger door and pull the handle twice and that was really starting to su*k! (I also hated when my wife and I would return to the car and I would have to unlock my side with the key, and get in first while she is still standing outside, and sit down and then open the door for her. It made me look like an inconsiderate jerk, I always open the door for my female passengers first and then close it behind them). Those days are over!! Also the key came with a two year warranty which covers reprogramming for no charge. I did request the new key card with the code, and the dealer had already placed it in the center console. Also, had the tires road force balanced for 79.95. Worth every penny. Took the car up to 108 and no vibrations at all. Today was a good day!
