Getting another vehicle tomorrow. Only one key. I know dealership means mugging. Any other options for remote control key? Thanks.

You're buying a vehicle and they're only giving you one key?

You should've made them give you 2 sets.

That's what I did when I bought my last vehicle.

We made the deal and it included a second key.

make one by going to Mordor into the fires of Mount Doom and forging the one key to crank them all...one key to find them, and in the darkness blind them.

Order a replacement fob online and find a locksmith who knows how to program it.

It depends on the car. Some cars you can go to Walmart and they'll cut it and program it for you. One car I owned there's only one guy I found in the US and one guy in Australia that could cut one.

Check eBay for blank keys. I've bought some from there very cheap that worked out great.

If it isn't a key fob, any auto locksmith can make you a key.

If key fob, look online for discounted replacement.

If it is a key that has to be programmed American Safe & Lock can make a clone. That’s what they did for me and it cost $60.0 if I remember correctly. They have two places. One on Sherwood and one on College

Negotiate a 2nd key in the car deal. Threaten to walk if the dealership doesn’t budge.
