Since every new car only comes with 2 Remote/FOBs and I think we will need 3, I am wondering if anyone knows how much it costs for the extra remote (incl. programing and key cutting). This is for a MY07 car without comfort access. I have already looked at the faq section and also done a search but came up with nothing. Thanks!

About $125 for parts and 30 mins of labor... which is roughly $110 an hour...

Yup I was there when the SA next to me quoted the other guys 7 series... I never had it done on my car... but thats what I heard another SA say to another customer...
Ya its a simple job. I think i have the instructions to program a regular key. Not sure if the new key slot one is the same way to program.

My dealership has free key fobs located in the cars on the showroom floor.
Do you think you can get one for me? I want one...

I have a dumb question- what does "FOB" standfor? I know what it is, but I don't know why it's called that...
