Car Mark Key Chains for: Toyota, Honda, Benz, Lexus and BMW $4.09-$4.75 shipped

If you need that to flash your car, then you shouldn't at all.

I never understood this.

As teens we used to use Benz hood ornaments for key chains, some of the gansta wannabes wore them on a necklace. $25 for the chrome $60 for the gold.

About 5 dozen kids at my highschool had them.

The rich neighborhood few miles away must have been pissed when all the Benz hood ornaments disappeared.

I think some of the kids in that neighborhood where the ones selling them too!

for everything else - ?! - there is a Master Card !!!

Na just fewer of them.
If I remember right only about 2 benz models had the option for them and was only on about 7 years at the time (Mid 90's)
I recall car alarms started having a relay for the hood ornament in the late 90's

Budoman said: Also check out their logo transponder chip keys. You can save $40 or more compared to a dealer. Buy the correct model for your vehicle, have it cut by a locksmith and program it yourself (typically requires 2 existing keys).

You cannot really program the chip yourself. You can program the remote so it can unlock the doors but that's it. The key will not start the car, or it will stop after a minute because of the chip. Only the dealers can program the chip in the key.

Not true for a Honda, at least. You have to take the old key and run it through the ignition a certain way (turn it to the second mark, turn it to 0, turn it to the first mark, turn it to 0, something like that, it's about ten steps total), then put in the new key and run the same sequence, after which the car's computer will recognize the new key.

Many transponder keys are available and can be programmed once you obtain a properly chipped key such as those linked above. You also need the programming instruction sequence for your vehicle which may be difficult to find but is often available online or from key vendors. Many but not all auto makers require 2 existing keys to do-it-yourself for added security. For example, you don't want a parking attendant able to do it. And, if you already lost one key it may be necessary to go to the dealer. However, many car owners have done it successfully otherwise we wouldn't write about it.

I have never seen a caddilac, is it some sort of cheap knock off like Tammy Hillfinger or Oarkley sunglasses?

its the real thing we used to rip them off cars. i did it as a kid but not no more. ill post a pic one day.

Maybe be I didn't search hard enough, but I've been searching the way to program the key of my 03 accord for long time, but I can't find any result except let dealer ripoff my $90. I know how to program the keyless entry, but I can't find way to program the car kep to start the car. If anyone know how, would you please tell me, thanks.

My son bought a used car that only came with one transponder key. The Ford dealer wanted $150 each for new ones. Locksmiths all wanted over $100 each.

I ordered 2 blanks on eBay for $22 including shipping.
He took them to a hardware store and got them cut for $5.
He then took one to a locksmith and got it programmed for $50 and them programmed the other one himself in the car for free.

This was on a 2005 Ford Focus that required 2 keys. So for less than $80 we had 2 additional keys.

DO NOT BUY FROM THESE GUYS.

They are a scam!!!!

I bought two BMW key chains for my wife and my cousin. Not only did they not sent confirmation with me emails i sent to them were returned undeliverable as well!!!

In addition, they are located in Hong Kong, hotbed for scam artists..

It's fine if they need a month to complete the order but why DO THEY NOT LET US KNOW??? We need to find out about this through a forum!?!?!? Why were their emails returned undeliverable?!?!?
