jinxed45 Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 I only had one set of keys, and lost them last night. I know I can get a remote and have it programmed from the dealer, and a key from the dealer, but is there an alternative that's CHEAPER? thanks!

adallak Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 If the dealer can determine the configuration of the key and the value of the integrated resistor you are lucky. Otherwise they probably will replace the ignition lock and give you a matched key set. The saddest thing in life is wasted talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 If time is not of the essence, I suggest trying Ebay for cheaper. Also, a dealer may be able to get a key via the VIN #. Be aware that your dealer may charge a remote programming fee. http://search.ebay.com/97-cadillac-eldorad...rectZ1QQfromZR8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
