Re: Worlds most expensive replacement key

Over the weekend I accidentally ran my Crossfire key over with the lawnmower. I have a spare but would always like another just in case. Here's the picture of what was left.

Bits and pieces

The actual key part was embedded in a tree

I hope it wasn't in your pocket at the time.

Thanks! That's an even better price than the other place.

as difficult as this may be to do. You need to find the chip.

All you really need is the Chip you can replace the case with those found on Ebay
the circuit board can be pulled out of another used/ worn XF fob from another car.

ots the only way to get a fob without having to send all of your items in

I figured I would just let them order me a replacement key thinking it would be $150 to $200 tops...... Then I find out they are hitting me for $500 and the key is already ordered.

Oh well....guess they are getting a little bit of their expenses back in the key sales.
Still a good bunch of guys and Get my A+ on service but $500 for a key ????
Really ??
I hope its the optional gold plated one with diamond studs

I thought $800 the Maserati dealer wanted was outrageous, but my friend paid $2000 to replace his Ferrari key. Feel better, aWilson40?
