Best way or place to get a spare key?

I am down to 1 now, I just lost a set of keys over the weekend. I believe I have the original numbered key tag somewhere.

Well with having only one now you need to pay the delaership as the StarScan will be needed to program it.If you still had the original 2 you would be fine but not with just one.

X2 Oh so true and cost more to do now

Any idea how much? It has to be better than the $885 I was quoted to resolve the situation at the farm where I was parked at. Luckily I was able to borrow a truck overnight to get my other keys.

I got some transponder keys off e-bay for about $10 a while back. Cost me about $30 for dealer programming.

'06 keys have the key and fob as one unlike the earlier versions with seperate key and fob.A '06 key will cost much more.

I think $300 is the going rate.

That started in '05, IIRC.

Yep, our '05 key/keyfob is all in one expensive little package.

Can't you still use a normal transponder key and just not have the key fob?

yes, but it becomes a pain in the butt when the only lock is on the drivers door. and everything has to be unlocked from there, been there done that. if you need the tail gate popped, you have to unlock the drivers door then unlock the remaining doors from the inside which includes the tails gate, then walk around to the rear and open it from there... we as a society have become lazy, me included, but it doesn't help when there is only friggin lock on the damn thing.

Do not go to a dealer, find a local locksmith that has the programing equipment.
It will save you about $40-$50

Since you have one left it should only cost you about $75 (more or less on location)
Those numbers on the tag are for the dealer when you have no keys left.

I was planning on installing an aftermarket alarm/starter, so I don't want a key fob/key, AND a key fob lol

That is a really nice price, but stay away from a dealer.

All noted, thanks for the info. You don't have to tell me twice about staying away from the dealer! Although my dealer wasn't bad at the time, they are closed now.
