@fendz I know with Audi, the key is pretty cheap ($80 in my case) but the labor to pair the key with your car, so that it actually works, is $120 or so.
I really wish they could make it less involved, but i guess that makes it easier to steal, so meh. -Taylor
I am a registered locksmith and I'll tell you going to a locksmith is a lot cheaper for programming. I program most chip keys for 45 to 65. Find a locksmith in your area and ask how much they charge based on your make and model. 250 for a nissan is a lot. I'd do that same job (depending on year of course) for 125 to 200...
During his WWDC keynote, Steve Jobs touted iCloud as a service that will sync many of your Apple devices, for free. Macs, iPhones, iPads, and even Windows computers can synchronize documents, contacts, calendar appointments, and other data.

So what about vehicle keys with chips inside? Do they have a way to accommodate those? Likewise will this actually even fit in vehicle ignitions?
@RandomGuy Yep, there's a separate package for chipped car keys. Check out Keyport's site for details on that: mykeyport.com.
@fendz
Its about $20 on the site (depending on your make and model) and uses one of your "slots"
