Hi guys,
I forgot my evo key in my pants and put it into the washing machine, drying machine and then it turned out a bent key
called dealer and find out that I need to pay for $60 for the replacement.
is it just me or this is very expensive ?
any alternative?

 

key's need to be program by dealer

 

yes thas about the right price...cuz of the chip in it

 

I would even go as far as to say that's not that bad. Try to replace a Benz key...

 

yeh, laser cut key with immobilizer III key with memory function. Just like BMW keys.

Can't get em here, have to order from factory in Germany.

That's a pain.

There's a guy selling a key with transpondent in it for real cheap. I would try that on Ebay.

I think there's a forum somewhere that I've made, about stealing evo. Search my posts.

 

they give me 3 sets of key why you want to buy another one?

 

he bent one, the other one is for extra just in case you lose the main one, and the other one is for valet.

You need 2 set of keys, 1 for use main and 1 for backup.

Valet key don't open everything, but i guess you could use that when it gets desperate.

 

yup those laser cut keys are a couple of hundred dolleres, so 60 aint that bad.

 

how bent is it? Might still be salvagable...

 

i wouldn't stick that bent thing in there. It might give it a rash.
