First post, please be gentle. ;^)
I'm new to the Pilot and bought a 2004 with 150K 4 days ago but it only came with one ignition key and one valet key. These are the simple key with no buttons, just the key with the RFID chip built in. I want to two extra ignition keys and called our local dealer but they wanted $169 a key to cut them? Yikes!
I then called the local locksmith and they wanted a minimum of $150, possibly more depending on the programming. Are these keys really that expensive to cut & program? I've gotten a brand new Range Rover key with the milled keyways, integrated RFID, alarm remote'fob, programmed at the dealer for $275... and that came with "free" espresso and snacks. lol
Thanks,
