could you bother to revise that using non-AIM chat wording? I find it insulting

I apolozise. I did not know this forum is so formal.
I wanted to know, how much it would cost to get a duplicate of the key with remote for A6.

Thanks

Default Depends on the source.

eBay has em for cheap, typically used. Dealer then has to recut the key and recode it, ends up being just easier to deal with them I'd think. $120 and up IIRC.

Default I bought one on ebay for $25...Had the dealer recut the key end and reprogram the

remote for $50. Total was $70. A brand new key is $140... I you can live with a slightly used looking key...go the cheaper route...

Default FYI....Ebay/Used Keys

Keys transmit within a defined frequency and not all keys use the same frequency. You have to determine you key's freq. Its stamped in it in on top of the battery compartment. Then the key you buy must be the same freq.

Default I bought a remote on ebay ($35) and programmed it myself...

...frequency didn't matter. Just make sure you get the correct number of buttons (3).
