Key problem

Thank you for your quick response. I now understand whats going on with my original key. The problem is, when I contacted the Tow Company about the problem they stated, by law they have to make a new key when recovering a vehicle, however, they didn't use it, which was a lie. In otherwords, we didn't cause this problem. A dealership, I know will want to charge a fee for reprogramming my key and reprogramming my radio they caused to stop working. I don't think its fair. Thank you

I hear ya there. They will deny deny deny so they wont have to pay. This is a very sticky situation since the Towing Company does by law have to make a new key. I would say just to bite the bullet on this one and take it to the stealership and get everything back to normal. I know this is unfair to you as the victim here, but its also going to be the faster and easier way to get back to normal. Good Luck to you. If there is anything I can do to help let me know.

Sincerely,

JC
