Is the $500 the cost for new keys and all new locks all around? Because my Honda dealer (which charges like 60% over list prices ) charged me $15 to cut a key from the VIN. They just needed my registration and driver's license.

Maybe the dealership got a "this car is stolen" vibe from the OP, and upped their price to try and get him out of there... :shrugs:

No....I'm implying that you are the only person who doesn't know their **** in this thread.

The dealership did not spit a BS price to shoot me out the dealership buddy......through the stealership replacing / reflashing the immobilzer with a new master key then reproggamming and cutting door and igntion keys is going to always be north of 500 at least all said and done ( seeing you dont do the installation yourself, parts alone or just south of 5 bills)

It should not be that much, 2-300 at the most. The key at the cyclinder is the same key for the door so they do not have to re-key the car. They have the vin number. So you need one key and reprograming. I would rather have a alarm then that shyty emobe.
