no mine is just a basic metal key, no "transponder" or anything

85 for just the key is a steal..... take that offer and run.... normally about 100-120.... it isnt exactly a easy thing to do. i dont know about you but i never met a locksmith driving an exotic... They just make enough to get by most of the time. You have to think about it as most of their business are $2 - $4 keys....

you better be sure, cuz i saw a b1tch get her keys cut, got in her car, started it and died when she put it in drive, she did it for about 15 mins before she went back into the store. She was in a 98 durango. Quite funny.

it would be hard to not know with a gm as their chips are visible on the key... he would know

U sure? We have a 2004 Denali with a transponder and it looks like a regular key, cuse the transponder is hidden in the little plastic part.

Yeah that's what I did with both my MR2s. Last time I had some made it was like 25 bucks for 3 keys.

Thats what he is talking about. The chip is in the plastic part.

The OP said his original key was just a plain Metal Key. No plastic.

What a rip, it costs 100-120 to get a DC Key made, and thats the Key/Remote(there a single unit) and its a transponder key..

Our dealers will cut non transponder keys for around 50-70
