i paid about $160 Canadian with taxes - so go to your local dealer to get it - MUCH cheaper.
i programed the chip and remote myself - it's not that hard actually. just follow the steps in the DIY thread.

crap. sorry.
i lied. just double checked my invoice - i paid $180 for both pieces and a couple of bucks to get it cut at a local key store and taxes.
i guess it depends on how much profit the dealer wants to make off of you.

Had one when I drove my golf. Very niffty to play with indeed, but to spend that much for a key? I gots me custom made emblems for way less than that and to me, extra stuff is more worth it--then there's the gas prices

$400??? your dealer is trying to scam you. My dealer told me list price from Mazda is around $239 + tax. I asked what the best price he could sell it to me for was and he gave it to me for $188 and got it cut for free. I guess some dealerships are more honourable than others and actually care about customer satisfaction. Dealer also asked if I wanted them to program it at no charge but I just did it myself, its really easy.

if it is lower than $200 w/ tax...i will go to get tomorrow....and does anyone know that is there any possiblily for me to get the key in the other dealers,not the one i got the car??

Same key as VW - Still kind of bulky if you ask me - especially for $160-$180.
I need something small for summer - although the 2005 single solution is better than the seperate key+fob solution.
Is $160-$180 the going price? And is that for 2 complete sets?

finally i ordered the key today....it was so ridicilous that i had to pay for the key in 2 different parts...they just said the remote and the key should be separately ordered...omg, did anyone get a key w/o remote, or just the remote w/o key...anyways..the remote is $175 and the key is $64. They gave me like $35 on them and totally its $229 including tax..well the remote has to been sent from toronto, the key from japan....it will take me 1 month waiting....and at the end ,i have to pay $40 on labor...omfg they robbed me!

1 month wait??? I just ordered mine from a dealer in Edmonton and got it in 3 days.
The 2005 key comes in 2 pieces, the remote and the key. You get the key cut and then the 2 parts snap together.

Got my new '05 key, only took about 2 minutes to program it. A bit pricey considering it doesn't really do anything special but defnitely rates a 10 on the cool factor.
