I asked the locksmith if the battery in the key was replaceable and he assured me he had transferred the old battery functions and reprogrammed the key to work as before. Now I just need to wait several years for the ugly chrome to wear off.
It was less than 20 cents per year for the cost of the keys. I think it was .000015 per mile. The calculator just say it is 1.504109589041096e-5 and that is not something I recognize.
$5.49 over 365,000 miles. I suspect I am the only human on the planet trying to figure the cost of replacement keys every 28 years.

Ya I lucked out when I lived in OK and dad a key blank in all his keys from the car lot days so I could cut my own. Don’t think this car will take a VW blank though. 🤣
