[DML] Electronic Ignition Keys

[Rod Dillman <rhdillman@xxxxxxxxx>]

I recently had a new key made for my Cadillac Eldorado that my son was taking to college. The Cadillac dealer charged me $40 dollars for the electronic ignition key. I assumed that only a Cadillac dealer could make a replacement key for it. A couple of weeks later I was in a local locksmith shop and inquired about replacement electronic ignition keys. The locksmith told me that he had a scanner that would read the chip in the Cadillac key and that he could make me a replacement key for $17. He also said that new car dealers usually imply that they are the only source for the electronic keys. The lesson I learned is to first check with a trusted local locksmith to see if they can make a key and if so at what price.
