......feeling like an idiot. I bought the car used with only only one key and associated FOB. I lost the key in my house. The car is in the garage so the key has to be on the premises somewhere. I've spent hours looking for it. It is now day four of not being able to use the car. Good thing I have another car.
I initially called the dealer and asked if they had a key in stock. They said yes. When I got there (45mins away) they realized they only had the blank without chip....aarggh!
So I bought a key blank with chip and an OEM remote FOB at remotesandkeys.com.
What do I do now?
I imagine I have to go back to the dealer and have the key cut,.
What then?
Keep in mind I can't drive the care to the dealer.
