Don’t Lose Your Key

posted by Smivey

Here are a few words of advice: If you drive one of those cars with the fancy remotes built into the key, don’t lose your key. I usually have my key in the change pocket of my jeans. Well, somehow it fell out in my apartment complex. And knowing the type of people who live here, I’m fearful of someone taking my car out for a joyride, or possibly taking it out and never returning it. So I called the dealership this morning and asked if they could reprogram my keycode. No. They have to replace the entire onboard computer and order a new set of keys. The cost? $760. The moral of this story: Don’t lose your key.

    WHAAAA??? 760 freaking dollars???

    I don’t believe that! With all the technology at our disposal, they can’t reprogram the key code?

    What a racket, eh?

    Maybe some kind hearted soul will return the keys – you may want to ask the apt. management if they could please be on the lookout for them in case someone brings them in…

    I’ll keep my fingers crossed – let’s hope if someone without much integrity- OK – a no good, thug-thief-lying-sonofabitch-bastard- gets a hold of your keychain, that he’ll be too stupid to find the car it goes to.

    ^a^

    I’ll be more careful with my keys! Always never quite knowing where I put them last…

    They were able to do it on my BMW… they said they usually charge $200 to do it but since I was there getting an $800 water pump put in they threw it in for free.

    Yes, that’s really an $800 water pump. German cars are affordable, really.
