Question Lost FOB?

I, like the dumbass I am, left my FOB on the roof of my car yesterday, and drove off. Yes, I looked for it, and yes, it’s gone. I did have a spare, and a friend brought it to me.

So what do I need to do to get another one? I presume the new FOB can be had, and programmed easily, but what about the hidden key? Am I at the mercy of the stealership?

Lemme know please.

Sincerely,
Your Village Idiot.

^^ That is what happens when you listen to heavy metal music and drive too fast (lol) - Seriously, your dealership should be able to get get you a new fob and key but it won't be cheap. I am sure you could find some place you could buy it but the advantage with the dealer is that they'll make sure all is programed properly and such. I know we all hate to pay dealerships and such but sometime, to avoid all potential headache, it is worth it....that is just me anyway

Also, be sure to have the dealership unregister the lost key from the car, just in case.

When I bought my car used two years ago, it had one key fob. It cost $300 to buy a second one and have it programmed. The spare sits in a Faraday Pouch so no one can get the signal and steal the car. Every January, I swap keys to extend battery life.
When I was waiting for the key at the dealership, a woman told me she had to pay $1,000 to have a key programmed as she did not have a second key! My wife's used Infiniti QX 30 had one key fob too. I got a second one for that car too.
