hi guys,
i've recently lost my intelligent key to my 06 g35 coupe and haven't had the spare key in a while now either. basically meaning i can't drive my car. i contacted a local locksmith and they gave me a quote of $280 to replace the key, labor included. they mentioned something about how they need to order some special part since the car uses a smart or "proximity" key. just wanted to verify whether this information is true and im not getting screwed. also the part i'm confused about is how i was able to start the car with just the spare key, without the fob present. did the spare have some sort of chip it in?
fwiw i live in the south chicago area.
thanks.
