Anybody have this happen to their key?
So was washing the car today and went to unlock the doors and when I pushed the unlock button this happened. Kinda sucks but I will just switch to my spare key. Button still works. Anyone know how much a new key fob will cost?

damn, never even guessed that could happen. but I don't think they're too expensive, and you can program them yourself if you have a working one. that saves you about an hours labor

The warranty might cover the cost of it.

Nope, and I checked mine, and would guess that the ones with the autostart on them are different in more ways than just having an extra button. On yours I see a slight indentation under the icons that would prove to be a weak spot, on mine there is no such indentation, except for maybe a slight one at the panic button.

Mine did the same after 2 years. Recently replaced the key fob for 45$. Dealer wanted 120$ to laser cut and program it. I just transfered the blade from old key to new one and programmed it myself. Pretty simple procedure.

My dealer told me $150-$200 to replace one. Then, the finance guy wanted me to get a warranty for the key.

Never seen that happen before. I think a new fob would run around $75.
BTW, nice flight key ring. R U an Invicta Collector? |

Do you unlock your car while you're raging out every time?
