remote control key cost

Anyone knows the replacement cost of regular remote control key(not the keyless option)? I have a hard time to contact the dealer(not returning the call).

Your dealer may be different but expect $200 plus an hour for programming.

It's called hot wiring and crooks use it all the time.

Not very smart to own a smart car, they require you change the oil.




Not very smart to own a smart car, they use expensive premium gas.




Ridiculous.

Plus the smart goes through muffler bearings and blinker fluid like crazy.

Muffler Bearing - $49.99 : KaleCoAuto, Hard to find automotive items!

Blinker Fluid [BF-01] - $8.99 : KaleCoAuto, Hard to find automotive items!
