My Comfort Access fobs use a replaceable watch battery that are good for 2-3+ years. My e38 keys were the type that charged when inserted and are still going strong since 2001 according to the owner who bought mine last year.

My dealer offers a few "benefits" for all new car purchases. One was the free replacement of up to one lost key.

Actually it's meaningless the answer a axiomatic question.
Go to GM and ask for a cheaper key...

They dont all fail in a couple of years, everything fails eventually... I'm sure there's a lot of 2004 keys here that are still working fine.
That kind of statement earns you no sympathy, if you were more sincere about the whole thing I would have felt bad for you and said it sucks that your key failed so early... but with that kind of statement I'm just thinking... " Sucks to be you, too bad, hope you other key fails too"

Some (or one, anyway) friendly response, but is what friends are for.
Try buying an Infinity key. Wholesale $650 + tax + programming.
If you drive a top of the line lexus and lose both keys, dealer will take care of you for $3500. I wonder if they charge the extra 10% for shop supplies.

Ya I know... it wasnt intended not to be rude... I found his post rude too so I made my own rude post. No harm... we can still be friends... the moment has past... unless he still wants to hold a grudge...
P.S. But look at his post #16... still no good... so
