Default I saved money

My used 2000 came with only one key fob. Dealer wanted $89.00 for a new fob plus $50.00 to program it.

Purchased a new fob on line for $72.00 delivered to the door, read the owners manual and spent less than five minutes getting the car to accept the new fob and the old fob. Maybe I should go to work for the dealer? Good money in that there fob programing.

I asked my dealer parts guy about programing my new one and he said you can either pay these guys $50 or look in the manual and do it yourself. Took the same amount of time to get it working.

The owner's manual does contain a lot of very useful information.
