How do you buy a key for your car off ebay? Have you bought keys for your house off ebay too? The key is laser cut in Sweden for your car's lock and requires the dealership to copy the radio frequency from the radio head in the top of the key. And yea sure any person would figure out that if you loose all the keys then you probablly would have to buy a new computer for it as well. But this wasn't the case for Cynthia. She lost one key and needed one replacement. I work at a Saab Dealership, I kinda know these things.
