Default Smart Card Key anyone??
I am planning to get this Smart Card Key for the GS. I find it unique and convenient. The price is $375 that includes the key and programming cost. Is that good or not? I found it on ebay of $275 but not programming fee included.

Found a lower price here!

Buy them while available. Programming should not be more than 50 dollars!

How would you lock the car with no button on the handle?

Sewell is cheaper. Remember you need to log in to their site to see our CL discounts. They also occasionally run group buys on these keys

Like on the 3G Gs300, there was a lock button on the outside, on the new 4G they eliminated the button. Doesn't the car automatically unlock itself if u push the lock button?

No more button on 4GS, instead there is an indentation on the handle and when you touch it, it will lock the car.
