Get on the forum and search for "Programing Key". You can do it yourself in about 2 minutes and save $50.00.

That's what I had to know! I will definitely take a look. Any variation in price between stealerships, though?

What's the purpose of the steering stabilizer?

Yes, you can reset the timer.
The steering stabilizer smoothes out any shimmy or inbalances in the steering. Try it, you will like it ! ( only about $40 and an easy DIY)

IAM OCD, so I just said to heck with it and replaced all exterior lights. I did NOT dissasemble the dash to replace those, I ain't quite that ****.......

Yes, some dealers charge different prices. I would call a few. Afew days ago there was a post of someone that paid $100 for the fob and the key cutting and someone else that paid $175.00, so check around and check the forum for deals that someone else may have gotten recently.

I thought that post #26 covered this and the programming.
Needswings $155 for the key - see link in #26. I saw another place cheaper but I have forgot what post it was in, around $125 I think.

Try this thread.
https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ement-key.html
You can do the '$50 program' yourself for nothing, so do not pay that fee. The solution to do it is here somewhere, just search.
Edit
I did the search for you, here is the how to.

Don't know if you have any place like this around there but up here we have a business called "Hub Cap Annie's" that specializes in wheel repair/refinishing. They can also source good used wheels, New OEM wheels and decent aftermarket/OEM style wheels. They charge around $50 a wheel to refresh, depending on how much damage is done to the wheel.

Good to know it could be that inexpensive. I don't believe we have any of those Hub Cap Annie's around here, but there are some places in Houston. Wonder what the turnaround time is?

Tom,
That is who I used as well. Approx $130. Had to supply Photo copy of Driving license & Title Deed to prove ownership. Got mine in 2-3 weeks, already programmed, just put it in the ignition and drove away, Great Stuff.
Would definitely recommend using this company.

There is a place in Houston that refinishes wheels, back to "as new" condition for about $125, I think. Google them.

So, I was checking out the car when I needed info for the Crossfire Owners site, and look what I found:

Anyone have a pair of these lying around? I don't know what they would cost from a dealer, but I might check tomorrow, unless there's an alternative...

Did you ever remember the name of that product?
