Just wondering best way to go about getting a new key fob in Canada. From the dealer is obvious, but is there a less expensive alternative?
yes actually. there is a guy on kijiji a buddy of mine used he has all the necessary equipment to make keys in his garage at a fraction of the cost. my buddy got one for his b7 a4 to put in the steering column for a remote starter. ill get his contact info and post it for you.
Oh man please have him sign up and make a post about this. That would be great for guys. I just paid 65$ to replace my spare key.
You can also look on ebay people sell blanks and all kinds of key stuff there.

That’s the guy we used. He’s very knowledgeable. We got 2 keys from him and they work flawlessly. One for the remote starter and one he uses everyday.
Was quoted 200 bucks for 1 fob
Man this sucks. I kinda have a hard time getting a key from a guy who advertises that he will roll back your miles turn off the immobilizer and also claims he tunes cars. Advertising you can make me a key without having my key in the same breath as telling me you can turn off the immobilizer is just an advertisement for having someone come steal my car.
The guy makes you a key knows your address because he ships you a key and now can easily steal or give your information to someone to steal your car. I would actually use the guy if he didn’t have a scrolling add for just about everything illegal he actually does.
it was 250 for 2 keys when we went iirc. if youre not comfortable with sending the address and stuff I could go get one for you. hes friend of a friend type thing and lives close to me. pm me if u want I have no problem helping.
