Well, it is probably not even a key, but an electronic code (RFID chip)
that the computer says will allow you to ASK the computer to start the
engine. (or beg...)
But yes, 500 is in the range I have heard, PLUS programming from MB owners.
I'd be looking for a way to remove the "key" part of the ign switch, so
that you can turn the switch with some other method. Like using a
screwdriver on MBs with real keys, after you remove the tumbler. You
have to have one key to remove the tumbler on switches with real keys,
so I'd guess you have to have a key to remove the "tumbler" part of the
electronic request system.

Folks
I lost the key to my 2007 Kia Sedona. And the remote. I screwed around
and talked to some locksmiths etc who told me a bunch of lies and
bullshit Anyway, with some difficulty I got the key code for free from
Kia Country of Savannah Then I found a nearby locksmith who made me 2
keys for $50 which was too much, but they fit. These are NOT
transponder keys which I does not have. Has anyone tried to program a
$10 remote on a Kia? That is the next project
Now, since I have the 2004 Dodge [sprinter] with only one key, I
thought I’d look into getting a spare for that. I called the stealer
in Savannah and they will happily sell me a switchblade fob and key
for .... get ready for this .... $499. But wait, there is more THEN
you have to contract with the service Dept to get that programmed ...
I didn’t even bother to get a quote on that. They lost me at $500 for
a key.
Has anyone been here and done that? Either the Kia remote or a
sprinter transponder key?
Xx rick
