ike84,
I am in Lansing, MI, so a bit of a distance, unless you happen to be near

so with all those hoops - how much I could save?

I looked up the remote and the key - if new, the price is not so much different from the dealer. Of course cheaper, but again, we are not talking about more than a $100 yet.

Just thinking out loud - if they cannot program the key or the ignition lock was replaced... on one hand I want to save money, but on the other I do not want to have a huge headache and spend several hours of troubleshooting and tinkering just to save $50. You see my point?

so, any consensus here?
