[Shotimes] Any VW owners on Long Island NY?

[Paul L Fisher]

We just had this discussion on the TDI list I am on. The 'list' price is 
around $260 for a key and the programming. They are weird keys and they have a 
built in key-fob for the alarm, trunk as well as something similar to the PATS 
chip.

Al, you should of had them cut a valet key, only $50 or so.
