🏷️ Automaker branding = higher key fob prices

Car manufacturers tightly control key fob design and programming. You can’t just grab a generic replacement — it must be an OEM fob programmed specifically to your vehicle.

On top of that:
⚙️ Programming requires expensive equipment
🕒 Skilled labor adds to the cost
🏪 Dealer markup drives prices even higher

This is why a fob that costs $30–$50 to make can sell for hundreds.
