Dealer wants $350 to program 2 key fobs

Update - Thanks to all the reference I was able to get the SM to do it for $250. Still seems like taking advantage of the situation, but I can live with that. Got the OEM fobs for $100 each and the tow was $100. So $550 all in. Not the worst case scenario. Silver lining, I was parked in long term parking for 14 days at the airport. At $29 a day, the parking bill would have been $409, they didn’t even charge the tow truck driver to get out. Future move - $100 to tow a car out of airport parking and skip the parking fees lol.

Nope not at all. The procedure will still be the same.

Completed the reprogramming yesterday. Took a couple of times as I wasn't quite quick enough on the draw . Now I just have to wait for the new key cut from China. Thanks for the concise write-up on the procedure. This forum has truly been invaluable for all of the things I have done to my ride!

Had my only key stolen during a work trip. Bought 2 OEM fobs online. Towed truck to dealer to get them programmed and was quoted $350 in labor. I can’t imagine this is more than an hours work. Thoughts?

Sorry to revive an old post here, but a Bay Area dealership told me today to get an additional key would cost me $675.

Id be pleased to know what CA dealer told you $350, i'd prob drive a couple hours out of spite.
