I have seen a kiosk in the parking lot of Roosters restaurant near Middletown behind the RiteAid, with a sign saying they sell/ repair car key fobs. Don't know anything about prices or ability, but maybe someone else does. Bill "I never dreamt of success. I worked for it." -Este Lauder > On

Harry, My brother, the mechanical engineer, bought an Audi and wasn't happy with how much pocket space the key took you. It's one of those that you just have to have on you,; don't need to put in a keyhole (the next thing to disappear from this world?). Anyway, he made him one, it's only ⅔ the
