Hi All,
first time poster with a quick question.

I was recently given a car starter for Christmas. My car is a 2005 so in order to set it up they need the security chip from my spare key. I'm now having to go back to the dealership to get a new spare. I've heard (but could be completely wrong) that some hardware stores are able to copy keys at a much cheaper rate without the chip and it's just as effective as a spare...

Has anyone tried this or know of a local spot that has mastered the art of saving me $100!

Thanks!

Expensive Keys

Just spoke to my brother in law who has a Honda Accord. His wife lost her key and of course had to replace it. He called the dealer and just about flipped out when he was told it would cost $200. Isn't that insane?
