Keys have to come from a dealer and generally require you to show proof of ownership. The dealer will then have to program the key to the car. With CA there is another step to get the key to work with the CA. Having done this a few times over the year I can tell you it is often a pain in the ass. The key being out of stock is not likely a permanent issue. I have been able to get keys for 30 year old cars. It may just be the chip shortage as you say.

Hopefully it gets resolved soon. I read an earlier post where a guy had been waiting 4+ months and still hadn't received the remote part of his key. Weird world we're living in with so many technological advances yet obtaining a simple key is a pain in the ass.

OP,
I don't mean to rain on your parade, but I believe you are out of luck. Out of curiosity, I've checked with two local dealers and was told this part is no longer available. So, I checked with Schmiedmann, and it doesn't even show up as a valid number. I hope I am wrong, but you might end up buying a refurbished one. Good luck either way. |

Finally got fed up and drove to the dealer to get my blade portion. Lo and behold the parts lady comes from the back with my blade AND remote. They had my remote for 3 weeks and never called me. This is why I try to do as much of my own work as possible. Really can't depend on people to do their jobs.
