Lost My Key !

[Eunos800]

Hi all...not been on for while, but things are pretty much the same with us and the car - EG: Its an OK car, finish.

FINALLY got the dash rattle fixed after many complaints. However, I have now managed to lose a complete key fob, and as getting a new "metal bit" only allows access inside the vehicle and nothing else ( whats the point of that ? ) its a waste of time going that route.

I need a whole new electronic fob and the dealer has quoted the best part of 300 quid !! No way am I am paying that...so whats the alternatives? Some techie guru must have a hack / fix / internet scam or whatever - so whats the crack guys. Is there anywhere doing better value replacements ?? Cheers.

Just need to find some bod or method of programming the thing to match my car.
