Option 1: New key fob from Dealer. programmed by dealer
Option 2: Install aftermarket keyless entry system. If having someone do this, cost will most likely equal the cost of Option 1
Option 3: Live with it and just use physical key to lock/unlock car
Option 4: Replace immobilizer, DME & Key with used from a donor car. SOMETIMES this can be cheaper then Option 1 if you get 2 keys from the donor car. You will have to swap over your key shank and/or have the dealer get new ones cut for you from Germany (yes, Factory is only who can do this Dealer can't)
