Default Keys Flushed

Keys were in sweater. Taking a piss. Leaned over to flush toilet. Keys fall out of sweater into toilet. Keys are bye bye. No spare. Went to dealer. 2 keys $175 bucks. The end.

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

I call BS, everyone knows sweaters don't exist in SoCal...

But seriously man, that is the suck. At least you have a spare now.

Well when it's 5:30am I'm sure you'll be wearing a sweater.

I never had a spare. I went to the dealer and they said it will take 3 days. I ordered 2 keys to have one as a spare now. I think I might have to take my car/keys to align the ECU/EWS again So for now my car is just sitting there

This is not the end of your woes. In 2 months your pipes will back up. Any chance you have a clean out in the basement and a plumber can get them?

Call up the California Waste Management company to give it back, or you're going to sue them.

Not for an OBD-II key.

Another thing that doesn't exist in SoCal - Basements...

Hugo, sorry about the keys, that sucks big time. Is it because of the swap that you might need the re-flash?

$40.75 - cut charge w/code
3.77 - tax
$44.52 - Total

That's the only "reasonably priced" (relative to other dealers) item I can remember buying at the dealer.

Hmmm... after my "left my keys on the bus, but I flew home" debacle last weekend, I think I'll get another spare to hide somewhere. LOL

I thought they were higher for OBD-II.
My extra Mini key was $125.00.

$175 for two keys, what kind of keys though? Do they have the buttons or are they the valet looking master keys?

Wow, that really sucks. I usually don't grab my keys until I'm headed out the door, so I shouldn't have this problem, at least at home.

I thought I read somewhere that the mini-key (the little plastic one) was more expensive then the regular or valet key. I can't remember where I saw that, so I could be wrong. This is a reminder though that I still need to get a spare key. Gonna give the dealer a ring in the morning to see how much.
