VIC Help On New Switch Blade Key

[veedubb]

Hi Guys, im Neil,1st post, im a proud owner of a recently purchased 07 Jetta TDI- 1st volksy ive brought & im bloody impressed, only got the 1 key & was looking to buy a 2nd, but dealer wanted over $300 "OUCHHHHH" so just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to avoid the exp option, was looking at buying one on ebay & realize you have to find the right locksmith & have the transponder fitted as well, but surely this must be better than forking out over 300 sheets- any help here would be much appreciated
cheers VeeDubb

been away on buis so hadnt had chance to reply- i looked at all the pro,s & con,s on previous topics covering this as well as other websites- even spoke to a vw specialist in the U.S who can cut keys over there at resonable cost - but transponders work on a different freq ( H & P ) where we have the (G) frequency - so i just bit the bullet & went to VW & my new key is on its way from singapore- i actually found it $160 cheaper by shopping around the diff vw dealers in melb, works out the cheapest was closest to me- looks like many ppl have had some dramas buying keys from other sources & trying to get em to suit there car
