A remote key head must have a paper tag with a 24 digit code on it or it cannot be coded to the car. Without that tag for that specific remote the key head is worthless. Watch out for ebay keys. It also must be for the correct year.

BTW- the local dealer will sell you that key for about $279 and they charge $60 for programming. Your dealer is ripping you!

I just had a second key made locally and it cost me $260-280. I may be worth it to call a few other dealers in your area.

$125 for a piece of metal?
Are there electronics in the valet key? There must be something special to justify the $125 price tag.
