Please send me any dealer willing to sell sub $300 ca key

I know this topic has been covered before but I wasn't able to find any recent leads to a vendor who was offering sub $300 key fobs with comfort access.

I know that I will need to still have my local dealer program the key for ca.

We bought a spare comfort access fob for one of our cars. The cost for the fob itself was $300. The Stealership wanted to charge me another $250 for programming after it came in of which I refused to pay.

The Service manager finally relented and ended up charging back their parts dept who quoted me in the first place.

They have a monopoly on these fobs and they'll get every nickel they can out of you for one.

you'd be referring to this thread:

I got a CA fob (including the cut key) through TBN54 a few months ago for >$225, and had a local indy program it for $75. He was great to deal with, shipped quickly from the dealer, and handled payment over the phone.

Just out of curiosity, I ran the quote at Mountain View BMW (SF Bay Area), and it was somewhere in the $700 range. Yeah.

They are accustomed to selling fobs to folks like the Silicon Valley techies...but I presume that was that inclusive of CA programming to your car?

yup i saw that thread but I lost touch with TBN54. I was slow responding to he might just think I am flakey.

My wife agreed to buy me a new one for Xmas so now I am kind of jonesing to pick one up.
