Is there a max number of keys that can be programmed to the car?

What is the best way to get best pricing on a key replacement?

Thanks!

Usually locks are provided with two standard keys, but you can order as much as you want, why not. I ordered mine at replacecarkey.org/volkswagen/ when I lost my last keys ( still don't know where

) The company I just shared offers keys for many other brands + quality local locksmith's services.

You can only get BMW keys from the dealer. I had to order one from my local dealer. Had to show up with my registration slip. Cost was $180 if I recall. It's expensive but it's also secure w/ ECU chip = theft prevention.

At Austin BMW yesterday I paid $237 for radio remote control(fob) and $66 for Integrated key. Parts guy said no programming needed. OUCH!

Non comfort access.
