Default Keys stolen

My keys were stolen and I am wondering what the best option for replacing the locks and programming $1500 from the dealer seemed rich. A any thoughts?

Nope, sorry. Sadly it sounds like your cheapest option would be to let them steal it if they want it that badly.

You could also get lojack for a lot less than that for peace of mind.

Get a 2 way alarm that will sound if they try to open you're car or anything, on top of that it won't start unless you unlock it from the alarm system remote (that comes separate with the alarm). So if they try to do anything it will go off. viper.com

Lol, just get a new remotes and get it programmed, once the new programmming takes place the old remotes won't work anymore. Only thing they wi have is the dummy key side which will set off the alarm when they try to open it but can't drive off with the car because old coding will no longer activate the car.

Well if you have the remote within perimeter it wont go off. Either way the car as no key bypass so you can only get into it but you cant drive away with just a key.
