That is just fucked. Why do we always get completely ripped off in Australia?!?

The bloody key costs 160 Euro in Germany. Programmed + ready to go. That's around $190.-
Blocking the old key is another 60 Euro.
And we have to pay $750.- for it.

.... For a grand total of 600 Euro you can have your entire locking mechanism, including 2 keys replaced over there....

i got a similar quote for my replacement key in Perth.

Yeah, after flushing the key out with electrical cleaning solvent, it still doesn't work.
However, funnily enough it DOES work to start the car. So i can't get it to unlock the car, lock it or unlock the boot, but if i use my other key to open the car (read above my drivers door lock is busted), then i can use the damaged key to turn the car on..

urgh $580 to replace it, ouch!

Might look into getting one from the Eu, and then just having it programmed here, anyone done that?
