Dealer said it includes the Fob (part 68143505AC) but not the actual key that goes with it. Huh? An old thread said it did.

Does anyone know if the Fob replacement is supposed to include the actual key part (and cut too)??? What has been your experience?

Thanks!

Here is the plan language:

"KEY FOB: Subject to the limitations in this provision, the Plan provides (i) coverage for up to three key fob repairs or replacements, and (ii) a total key fob coverage benefit of $600, which limit applies notwithstanding the cost per repair or per replacement of the key fob for the Covered Vehicle. Key fob coverage is available even if this component is lost or stolen, and this coverage is not subject to the deductible that applies to repair visits for covered components.
NOTE: FAILURE OF A KEY FOB BATTERY DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A MECHANICAL FAILURE OF THE KEY FOB."

Did you lose the FOB, or did it become defective? If so can't you just take the key from the old one? You get 2 with the car. How hard can it be to get it duplicated?

The key part is not cheap because the dealership charges a lot to cut it too.

We sure have come a long way from being able to walk into most any hardware store, and get a key cut for most any vehicle for around a buck 50.

And it really doesn't matter how much more "secure" these new FOB's are, because now they'll just lay in wait and carjack you.

All the FOB's have done is make car theft much more dangerous, by making it more confrontational...... And profitable for the dealer.
