Place in Bay Area (San Jose/Santa Cruz) to get an XK8 key made
Hello BA Jagfolks,
I only have one key for my '03 XK8.
I've heard that these can only be done at specific places - like the dealer or a few other locksmiths. My local locksmith can program them but can't cut them.
Service at British Motors San Jose gets pretty terrible reviews.
Where else can I get a key made (or programmed)?
While I'm at it, do I need a fob (remote) for it, or will the key unlock the car and drive it without the fob? The "key is chipped" thing has me wondering.
Lastly, any thoughts on how to do this cost effectively would be appreciated. I see blank Jag keys (and remotes) on Ebay and on Amazon for somewhat reasonable prices, but would still need someone to cut and program...
Thanks!
