Missing Fob - Where best to buy?

[gfish]

Hi All,
We just pucrhased a 2018 B8 comfortline and when we went to collect we were only given 1 key/fob.

We need to buy another (or maybe 2) and would prefer not to spend dealer prices. Is there somewhere that suplies OEM. We have our independent service guy who can program for us.

Thanks kindly in advance.

Is that right? came with only 1 remote key fob! Was it a new purchase as I gotta say I got 2 with my new B8 Passat ... hmm

New car should have 2 so insist on a second one

Sorry guys, second hand.

Sorry guys, second hand.

$360 from dealer inc coding

That's reasonable. Can you tell me which dealer? Last I spoke with it was almost 600 dollars.
Thanks for your help

THats what I was quoted in QLD but have no idea of prices elsewhere

Search around the local key cutters. We found one near us with the technology to cut Mk3 and V Golf and Skoda keys and charges around $120 per. That's Buranda shopping centre Brisbane also, sorry. Probably not quite enough savings to warrant a day trip?

They arent just a key Its like a remote and has a small key fitted into it for emergencies

Ok maybe that's outside their scope. I had no trouble getting the whole fob replaced for the MkV, they just needed one to copy from .
