Lost Keys...

kyleshim · 01-05-2012, 05:10 PM

So on New Years Day, I was celebrating at a lounge and I later realized that someone has stolen my jacket. Unfortunately, my keys, cellphone, and wallet were in the jacket pockets. I'm afraid the thief would have my address from my driver's license and he'd have access to the car ignition.
The dealer wants $1000 (no comfort access) to reprogram the car/car keys. Would anyone know a cheaper and alternate solution to this?

My car is a 2008 335xi

Try claiming under insurance?

Take off the aftermarket parts and make sure your insurance is paid.

Kind of a joke, but if he doesn't want to pay a grand to get it fixed, that is good advice.

Screw that man there HAS to be an alternative out there... like a $449 dollar Ruger SR9 for the bastard who stole your jacket

Value the $1000 versus your time and stress that you'll incur chasing alternate measures. If you don't find anything, then I guess pay the $1000 and get it sorted out.

Sorry man. I guess lesson learned not to leave things unattended in a lounge.
