How Much - Extra Key

SirKeats · 09-23-2007, 07:18 AM

So my truck only came with one key. I'll need a second one for the wife. Am I going to get bent over by the dealer here because these things have a chip in them? Anyplace on the web have them cheaper?

Do you have a XE, LE, SE, KC or CC? XE KC does not have the chip in the key, any locksmith can make a key to open and start the truck. The XE CC and all other models have the chip and has to be programed for your truck. I have a XE KC Perfered Package and had keys made cost me $2 per key no chip. Check out my thread.

You can expect to pay around $50 to $80 for a key and programming at the dealer. The keys are cheap it's the programming that cost a little more.
Try this place to see if there's one in your area.

Sweet! You rock! I have an XE KingCab.... no chip for me! hehehe. Very nice. That's a load off for sure. Thanks again for the info!

(note to others out there... don't be stupid like my wife and I were. when at the dealer for a used titan, make sure you ask about additional keys and negotiate for extras if there's only one!)

Yep, I said I'd need an "extra set" both lock remote and key. The dealer finally coughed up the $150 for both.... and I don't have a wife anymore....lol I keep the extra remote at home, and the key in the truck for when I go duck hunting or canoeing. (so my remote won't get too wet)

(opps, I just looked it up, since I didn't pay for it, I forgot it was $225 for parts and labor for the two!)
