Programmable key fob

Hey Everyone,

THe MINI that I bought (2004 Cooper S - vandalized rescue project, see other posts) did not one with a programmable remote key, just one that would open the door and start the car. It's a real pain, can't believe how much a I miss a remote.

The dealer wants $189 + $60 for programming,

Is that my only option?

thanks

That's actually a more "reasonable" price compared to what some of the dealers charge. That's your only option, unfortunately.

Yup, that's reasonable. Go for it.
Another option is to get an after market security system and have them program the RC to open your locks.
