Default Lost Keys And NEED HELP!

I lost my frickin set of keys with the remote and called a lock smith, wanted to charge me 195bux, I said fuckit cause I only had one set(long story). Then he makes a key for it on the spot, but cannot shut off the alarm with the door key like other cars , why?
I thought that the alarm shuts off if you unlocked the door!!

So that was that!

Does anyone have a hook up with a reasonable locksmith?

Or how much will a dealer charge me if I give them a vin number so they can cut the key?

Thanks Zeke

alarm wont' shut off until you put the ignition key in due to the computer chip on the key. you will have to have a new ignition key made by a dealer..

Its not too bad for a door key, but an ignition key from the dealer is going to be a pain. Dealer will do it though.

You need the vin code and proof of ownership to get a key from scratch from a dealer

It would have been cheaper at the dealer. I do it all the time with cars I buy with no keys. I get them from a wrecker yard once a month.

you need the vin and proof of ownership. I've seen some cost as much as $70-$80 but they broke it off in ya.

Dealer can cut you a key, make two while you are at it. If you locked your keys in the car you can make a cheaper trunk key and crawl in.

I did the same thing last year. I washed the car put it on the trailer to go to the track, and must of sat them on the fender of the trailer when I crawled under to hook up the straps. drove 60+ miles to the track and found that I lost them.

I just went to a locksmith, they called the dealer and got the code. I had one in about 10 min. I think it was $50 at the locksmith. The thing is I can make one at work if I had the blank but no buddy would sell me a blank. And if they did they would probably want the same amount.
