What are the best options to get this key programmed? My local dealership wants $175 just for the programming.

in my opinion and that's way too much just to program the key, he's probably sore that he's not getting the sale from the key as well. I would check around at a few other dealers and see if anybody will program it for cheaper for you. In my case it was the same dealer, that i leased my vehicle from charged me only 70-80 dollars to have the key programmed I think in total for the key and programming at my local dealer I ended up paying around 128 to 130 and that also included to have the key cut. Just a word of advice that the key isn't cut exactly like it is out on normal key shop they use these jagged edges looks like stairs almost to do a rough outline of your key so it's not the greatest but it does work

Depend on your car model and year there are some video on youtube teaching how to "pair" your new knob with the car. Other model would need an obd2 software and hardware to do it. Also check your locksmith

Some local Locksmith's will do it for as low as $100. The dealerships will usually start at $150 and depending on the dealer it will go up.

Google local auto locksmiths in your area. I paid l100$ to cut and program. My dealer wanted $250.

I personally contacted a lock smith, it was cheaper than the dealer. Hope that helped.

I live in Kansas near wichita. And I was able to find a mobile key company that did it for 60 dollars!

We actually took it to a place that programs it. It is a key cutting place. It cost us $5.00 and took 5 minutes, if that to program. Check around they are all over.

Do get any off market key from here, I bought one, they cannot sync the fob to my car, had to go to dealer, however, the material of the key is not decent, they cannot cut it to fit my car, and cannot sync the fob with my car either.

No the guide won't help you. I had mine reprogrammed by an approved lock smith shop. This cost way less than going back to the dealership. They I paid 1/6 of the price dealership was asking, of course because I did not buy the key through Locksmith I had so sign a disclaimer in case the reprogramming does not work. Took them 40s and I was done.

Could not be user programmed for my 2009 Altima, however the local Nissan dealership wanted $275 to sell and program a new keyfob for me, but with me supplying the keyfob I bought here, they only charged $65. So, net, a savings of $160.

I bought a key fob and blank key together and then you have to take it to a dealer to have it programmed to your car and have the key cut. I think it cost around 75 to 100. You will also have to give them your original remote since they have to program both at the same time. Hope this helps.

Hi! The only way you can get it programed is by the dealership with the TECH2 Saab scanner and depending on the year of your car you need at least 1 working key in order to program the extra fobs

You need a special computer program to program the new key fob. I called a local locksmith that had the program. The cost was $60 and it took about 15 minutes. He came to my location to program.

I actually had to take the clicker to a key shop and have them program it for me. It was like 40 bucks to have it programmed a lot cheaper than going to the dealership

Check with a Hyundai dealer. They program the remote for a fee. It's still cheaper then buying the remote from the dealership.

I bought one for my 2008 jeep wrangler. Programmed it and it worked fine - gave it to a Buddy in case He needed it. When he did it didn't work. If you have 2 keys and can make it to a dealer, that would be your best option.

You have to go to the car dealer or a locksmith to have it programmed. The locksmith is usually less expensive.

It is really very simple. You just sit in the driver's seat and go through a procedure of opening closing/locking the driver's door and inserting and removing the key from the ignition switch. It is really a ripoff that a dealership would charge $50for a few minutes of work.

I had one key and bought this. If you have two programmed keys, then you can do it yourself (youtube) If you only have one good key, then you will need to go to the dealer.

You need two keys to do it yourself otherwise you will need an automobile locksmith or dealer to do it for you. However, this key is still a good deal even if you plan to go to a dealer since a dealer will charge you $75-$100 for a new key and an additional $50-$100 to program it. When I got mine, I just took it to a local hardware store to have it cut and programmed it myself (since I had both original keys). If you have only one working key, go ahead and get this one, get it cut, and then take it to a dealer or locksmith for programming. At least you will only pay the dealer for the programming instead of paying for both the key and programming. Your savings should be about 50% over getting the actual key from the dealer.

The key came with a small paper that had a typed url code. I entered that code onto the internet and it had a video I believe of how to program it. It was super easy, all I had to do is put the key in the ignition, turned it from off to on fives times I believe. (it gives you a chime noise), then you simply hit lock and its good to go. Depending on the year of your focus, it may vary slightly but it was a real simple process

You will need at least one key that is already programmed and a dealer had to program the new one. I payed $55
