Sometime between "I think" Sunday night and Monday morning I lost key set numero uno. Sources close to me can neither confirm nor deny the price for a replacement estimated around $350.

Ok enough with trying to find humor in this situation...WHY THE **** ARE THE KEYS SO EXPENSIVE? NOT TO MENTION THEY TAKE APPROX. ONE MONTH TO RECEIVE THEM!

If they don't surface by this weekend I am searching every square inch of my house. It's my luck that I have never lost a set of keys and when I do I can't go down to the local hardware store and have Grandpa cut me a new one.

OUCH! gotta get one of those clapper things that beeps when you clap and put them on my keys. With a 2 year old I know I will be looking for them soon.

And I thought $30 for the camaro ignition was bad, and $65 for the Aurora's was bad.

If I lose my keys thats over $400 because the key to the Aurora is on the same ring as the GTO's. add a clicker and her set is probably $500!!!

Key/transmitter together are about 132.00, I still don't understand why GM has to make their keys soooo expensive! I get drilled with that question every time I cut a key for a customer.
GM key prices :shutme

At any rate, if I must buy a new one, $132 is much easier to swallow than $350. Thanks for the update.

no problem :cheers

Actually I did find it this weekend as promised, I searched every inch of my house. So GM can hold off on that $132 for now...

key fob is a transmitter. without it's radio signal, the car with not function. Similar to the Vette's keyless ignition but we still get to use the key (fortunately).

The Keys are not laser, you could probably get it cut at home depot except you won't have the remote feature. Bmw remote master costs $131.00

Plus the car won't start without the metal "nub" above the key on the transmitter.
