Try soaking the Ram and see what happens!

My car doesn't have an ignition key slot. Without the transponder I'm screwed!

what kind of car I bet it does or you cant start it when the battery in your fob dies
sorry I read that wrong however you do realise even with a key slot losing your key creates the same problem

Welcome to the world of electronics and computers. Long gone are the days when you could fix anything on your car with a flat head screwdriver and a 9/16" wrench. Not much you can do about it. It does make you way more aware of where your keys are at all times though! Doesn't matter the make or model of the vehicle.. they're all going to run about the same. $130 is a great price actually.

You have to figure, the vehicle won't run without it (yes, I know there are ways around it) but it does take out the theft of convenience factor, so you do pay for some security.

New Dodge Ram truck key will run you $800 after tax. I understand the benefits of a transponder as an addition to security and $130 seems reasonable but when a replacement key starts creeping close to a grand it's obviously just another way to gouge the customer.

Holy. That's insane.
I'm glad queenie brought my old Skoda back.

I'm very careful as to how I close my car doors now.
Bman, do you need anything from Crappy Tire? They don't carry your brand of nylons tho, sorry.

Chipped Keys.

I used to own a rig that had a chipped key, no fob.

Lesson 1; never use open flame (or other heat sources) to heat the key in event
of frozen door locks.

It renders the key useless !

Luckily I learned this from someone else's misfortune

What about batteries for the fob? Mine is a 2003 and it is dying.

Most take the flat watch batteries

There are many different types of flat batteries. Take it to a battery place like the one in Capri Mall or National batteries on Banks rd. They will fix you up.

Or just Google the year/make/model and you'll have your answer within seconds as well as countless youtube videos on how to change it.

[Bsuds]

Yup but for anyone who is not comfortable doing it themselves most battery places will do it for you. (or should)

Hubby flushed his last remaining truck key down the gyms toilet (automatic flush) and by the end of the day to get a new key it was over $300.
