Default Bought some new remotes...

When I bought my Z a couple of weeks ago there was two keys, but only one remote. I looked around, even called the dealer. Does anyone really pay $105 for one remote and another $50 to program it? Wow.

Anyways, found some good eBay auctions. Came across this ad:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/300781446890...890%26_rdc%3D1

Great price. Delivered in 3 days. Programming instructions included in the package. Programmed all three remotes in under 10 seconds. Now I have one for my set of keys, my lady's and a spare. Great deal. Thought I would share.

Anyone else come across a good deal for replacement/extra remotes?

Ryan

I did the same thing with my recently bought Z. The silly person I bought it from lost both remotes and wouldn't spend the $100 each for new ones. I got him to drop the price $200 out of it! Now only if there was a cheaper was to get the actual chipped key from the dealer.

I ordered 2 from Amazon, plus two blank keys for my 2003 Z. I am awaiting their arrival.

Hi Ryan, Thanks for posting the reminder to “always check other sources.” I lost a FOB, and like you, was shocked at the price charged at the dealership. This is a cheap piece of plastic with 4 buttons, and a very inexpensive chip and battery.
