At a rest area in Imperial Dunes CA my life partner (is that the PC name for a wife now?) left her purse in the unisex pit toilet bathroom. We realized it in a half hour and returned to find it gone of course. One item in it was our second set of PM key and fob. I have flown back to NH supporting a family member for a month so I went to my selling dealer and ordered a new one. Here is the deal. The vehicle's VIN, on file, is enough to cut the laser key and it is due to be at the dealer in a week. The cost of the key cut and fob is $115 (from wifey's account!) and then it must be programed to the vehicle which I will have to do when I return to the van and go to PHX. My dealer charges $35 for that. All this is not the end-of-the-World issue my friends have said it would be and the cost is reasonable in light of the technology in the key and van I guess.
