I think the Chips in the keys is an scam. To me its just an extra way to make more money for BS.

No, they work! Try having a key without a chip cut the same and it won't start your HHR.

It makes it harder to steal your car and gives you a insurance reduction.

I think we should all do away with keys. I lived in this neighborhood once where no one ever locked their doors...

Like the key fobs that allow you to just get in and hit the start button? I like that idea!

If I remember correctly it was just a series of inserting the key and turning it on and off to program it. I think key fobs run about $50 and then the charge for programing it, but I could be wrong about the price.
Lady Fenrir lost her keys the second day we had the car (she is a smart blonde, but still has her moments ) it was 52.48 after tax and they didn't charge anything to program it, but they did charge for the key and I forgot what that cost was I was to busy shaking my head when I told them what happened!
