Well I have 4.6is, as far as I know the 4.6is came fully loaded, the only option I'm aware of is Navigation, and that has nothing to do with a remote key, so I call BS on that. If you read my earlier post above, I paid only $153 for my key back in January of this year.

Do you have comfort access? Your keys needs to be in your pocket to open the car and start it. Maybe that would make a difference in price?

not an option on the E53. You are getting over charged.
