Default lost key fob

Im pissed. my key fob fell off of my key chain last night. Any ideas how much this is to replace? My spare does not work at all it will not even lock or unlock the doors. Is this just a dummy spare or should this spare be able to lock/unlock or start the vehicle. Thanks for the help.

Have you tried replacing the battery in the spare?

Should not be a dummy spare. If you put it in the slot it should work even if the battery is dead. If you can start the car, just replace the battery. All hear say/read as I have not tested a dead fog.

Haha, I was in a parking lot on my droidX... and was resisting the urge to use the "fobgina" word... but since someone already did... fobgina, fobgina, fobgina. I almost did the other day at the service center. I don't think Amanda, my service advisor, would have found it quite as amusing, but you never know. She's pretty cool.

Happy, just wouldn't be the same if you didn't get your balls busted now and then!

Ya that spare key is just doing nothing i replaced the battery inserted it in the "fobgina" and still it says no key. maybee that thing is bad. does anyone know how much a new key is? Can everyone else start there car with their spare fob, and does it lock or unlock. The guy i bought it from said it was a dummy maybee it just never woirked from the factory?

You should have gotten two functional fobs. There is no such thing as a 'dummy' fob from the factory. A new fob is going to cost you.....I have heard more than $200. You can have your spare fob reprogrammed to your ignition if is doesn't work. I am not sure how much the dealership will charge for that. If you are buying a new fob, they will have to program it for you. They may feel sorry for you and do them both at the same time.
