go to a dealership with your VIN and probably a piece of ID.

Correct Answer: BOHICA
Expect to be looking at a $200-$300 bill.

What's the acronym - I assume the B is for bend and the O is for over LOL.
Anyway - it there's any chance you've locked the keys in the car it would be alot less expensive because you don't need a new PATS key just to get the door open.

What will they do for me is what I'm asking? It is a chip key so just cutting a new key wont work....Don't they have to replace the key cylinder along with something in the ecu?

on a side note, whats the acronym mean? lol.

Something to ask them is do they reflash the entire ECU? If so thats gonna suck, make sure you take your programmer with you and reflash your tune.

I don't have a programmer, i use a chip would it be OK if i pulled the chip and then let them do what they need to? Once all is said and done and i get raped for $300.00 i can plug my chip back in and everything should be back to normal???

guess what guys, I FOUND MY F*&*ING key's! they were in my van underneath a pile of garbage in the side pocket of the passenger door. I was in the dealership and the service manager told me i could come back in 15-20 minutes or just wait for the head tech to get back for lunch. So i opted to clean the van out a little bit in the meen time and sure enough there they were. Saved me about $300.00 and a tow charge to get the car to the dealer.
