Lost key, replacement options?

[A8ked]

A couple years ago, after receiving oxygen and recovering from getting the price of a new remote key at my local dealer!!

I purchased 2 spare basic keys that have just the light and no locking buttons.
Part # 996-637-041-01 and #996-583-531-00 Only $138.50 for the pair.

The dealer programed them for an additional $88.50

I find inserting the key and turning the lock is not that difficult. I do have to open the door to release the frunk and trunk.

A remote key also activates the security and alarm system

Maybe it varies with the model year, but my basic keys activate and deactivate the alarm system when I lock or unlock the door.

Are those able to turn on the car?

[A8ked]

Yes, they do everything the remote key does just no buttons.
Manually lock / unlock the door, set and shut off the alarm, Raise and lower windows, start and stop the engine.

Here's a photo of the basic key.

Maybe the ECU Doctor could help. Send them your ecu and immobilizer?

Just a thought, maybe a reach.

not exactly, it doesn't remote lock/unlock the doors or open the trunk or frunk
