I went by my local dealer and talked to the service and parts guys that I have known for years. They will not give out codes to a customer.

You should ask to see if you get a different answer.

My local dealer will code a key that the customer brings in. $85. When I had a key coded there about 8 years ago it was $50.

I got the following codes for my car this afternoon:
DME code
Remote control code 1
Remote control code 2
Ignition lock alarm code
Transpondeur code 1
Transpondeur code 2
Transpondeur code 3

Is this necessary to code a key?
