Has anyone replaced their key fob without going to the dealer to get it cut and programmed? Say purchased from Amazon and taken it where?? Dealer quoted over $300 to get a new one, although they are back ordered and no ETA!

It depends on the make, model and age of your vehicle. Some cars allow programming by learning via button push sequence, etc., some allow aftermarket fobs (some don't), some allow used fobs (some don't), some require a virgin fob with a "write-once" transponder.
Try getting an estimate from these guys: https://www.torontotoplocksmith.ca/. I recall a conversation with one of my customers last year and he mentioned that he used them for a key fob replacement instead of going to the dealer.

Gave these guys a call and they are coming to check things out!!
Yeah dealer quoted over $300 and no eta, the guy coming said a little over $200, saving about $100 and don’t have to wait. Will update after done deal.
Maybe they will make new cars one day with a normal key.
Would be harder to steal too.
I don't mind using a regular key.
Maybe give buyer an option.

I usually try not to give advice or vouch for someone, unless I personally used the service, but you posting after midnight on an escort review board made me go against my principles lol
