Need key and remote
Is there an online source to get a Ford key and remote fob at a reasonable price?
I know I will have to get them both programmed at a whopping 42.50 each no matter what, but it would be nice to save a little on the hardware.
Dealer wants 45 for key, and 79.58 for remote.
That makes one key and remote set 209.58 before tax.

i see those prices too but always worry if they will actually work. i have had numerous customers bring in ebay brought remotes and keys for vw's and a very small percentage actually work. i too need a spare key and remote(wifey lost hers) and am interested in a resonable alternative to dealer pricing.

Ya I understand your concern about the keys. I work at a vw dealer and we don't even touch keys that weren't bought at our dealership, but those keys are a whole different ball game than these ford keys. The vw key's actually have a transponder in the key itself.

try checking a local locksmith too...i thought i lost a key and the dealer wanted over $100 to cut and program a new PATS key for me..a local locksmith cut and programmed a new key and disabled the lost one for $45...
you must have 2 working keys or remotes to program them yourself..
i found the "lost" key in another car of mine...least it was only $45...

We just picked up our Excursion Friday and it only came with one remote and one key. I was a little impatient and went to the dealer today before searching this site. Turns out it wasn't to bad. I got a new key, programmed, and the keyless entry code for $63 including tax. A new remote would have been an additional $69. I figure with the keyless entry code, my wife and I don't both need a remote so I'm satisfied.
BTW, love the forum!
