Car only came with one key. Any savings tips on cutting and programming a key for the 2002 TT? I have an appointment at the dealer, $135.00, and I have the hardware. I am located in So. California.

 

Hear is a great tip ... tell the dealer not to rip you off ... i just paid $70 for mine and it only took 10 mins

 

The prices for reprogramming is dealer dependent. Two dealership in our area gave me quotes of $125 and $60 for doing exactly the same thing. Basically, it is a few minutes of work.

 

not really much of a way around this since PST2 is needed to program it. u can ask for other work to be done since this job doesn't take the charged time. if you need any reprogramming of DME setting such as autolock, alarm self arming etc, this is the time. also, any computer code scanning etc.

130 isn't too bad. i pad 150 for parts and labor in reprogramming a key.

 

I already have $100 ivested in blank and remote. Now they want another $135 to cut and program. Anyone is So Cal no of a dealer that charges less than $135?

 

I also had key ready to be programmed. Find a guy can do it for $80.
If you want we can go together.

 

Had mine done a couple of days ago....total $225....

 

I just paid $368 for a new remote control key at westside porsche in Houston. I even have to wait for the metal part of key and only have the plastic remote at this time. Porsche is way too proud of their keys.

 

I had one ordered at the Auto Gallery in Woodland Hills and it was programed
durring an oil change and it cost 265.00 (key+programming) no break for having it in the shop.

 

The dealer in Tucson charged me $35.00 labor for key programing, took 20 minutes.

 

You should be happy with that... since we have the key code for our 550, our new fobs will only be $800.00 instead of THOUSANDS (if we didn't have the code).
