Discount replacement keys?

[TKeeler]

I've got an 08 and found two chipped keys on ebay for $35 with shipping that I programmed myself with included instructions. The dealer wanted about $180 a copy programmed. These keys don't have the remote for the doors and panic alarm, but do get you into the cab and will start the motor.



I needed some extra keys to give shuttle drivers when we go rafting, I don't think they need the remotes.



Question I just thought of: I will have to figure out how to turn off the alarm without the remote function... ... .





eBay Store - keyless entry remote: car alarm

Anyone figure out how to turn off the alarm without the key with the buttons on it? Say I lock the doors with the keyfob/key and then loose it? If I unlock and open a door without shutting off the alarm starts sounding... I haven't tried it yet but what does it take to shut the alarm off once a person is inside? I am considering getting some 'chipped' no button keys for spares but still want to be able to continue using the remote lock/unlock feature.

Find a Hyko key dealer that has the chip key service - it' cost about $70.

For our Dodges, the only time you can't use a HYKO key was if the key has a fob with buttons built into it.

Many hardware stores use this brand and I know I could make them at the ACE hardware I worked at.
