Anyone know where I can get copies of my keys cut in Phoenix, AZ without having to go through the dealership and get robbed? I bought shells and thought I can use my old key, but came w/ the blank key piece attached so I now have to get them cut. thx

wow I just looked into this since I only have 1 key, some of them are really cheap, I would think they would be a lot more expensive

any of those would work? even the switchblade?

(sorry not trying to thread jack bro, just figured this info would be helpful to you also)

If you have the transponder, you might be able to program it yourself for keyless entry.

so they look at a picture and cut it? shenanigans

BTW guys have NONE of you considered giving some unknown person on ebay personal info could be dangerous (like where you ship your key is tpyically your house) and letting them get your vin to cut your key so now they know where you live and have your vin to get a actual key made
