Why are car keys so expensive to replace?
Replacing a modern car key can cost hundreds of dollars, a sharp change from the cheap metal keys of the past. Reports point to electronic transponders, keyless fobs, dealer-only programming and lockout technology as the main reasons prices have climbed, leaving many drivers surprised by replacement bills.
Why now: Drivers are startled by high replacement costs as keys have become sophisticated electronic devices controlled largely by dealers and manufacturers.
