Is there a cheaper way to get a copy of a car key with an electronic security chip in it than to go to the dealer?

In: Buick Park Avenue [Recategorize]

[Edit]

many hardware stores now duplicate keys with chips.

Answer

Try a locksmith OR get the key blank from the dealer and then go to the locksmith. I got a chip key from my local Mazda dealer for a Millineum for $120.00. Was it a deal? yup

Answer

I NEEDED A SPARE KEY WITH THE RESISTOR IN IT WENT TO THE LOCAL LOCKSMITH

AND PAID $20 FOR A NEW KEY. THIS IS IN FLORIDA AND I DON'T KNOW ANYBODY

THAT WORKS THERE. THE CADILLAC DEALER WANTED A LOT MORE $$$$$$$$$

I googled and found web sites that actually sell the key with the chip for around $19. They come with programming instructions, that are very simple. I went to Home Depot to have it duplicated from my other key. Now if I had lost all keys, the dealer or get a locksmith. Here is the site I used for my car key: http://nvo.com/chipkeys/door/
