If its one with the key in the fob, thats a decent price at the dealer. The fob has to be programmed and the key has to be cut, plus the price of the fob. Im sure you could find on online cheaper, but it will still need to be programmed and cut.

thanks @upstateJohn. I did find it cheaper but my concern was whether or not it would work because it was ridiculously lower.

I have to go now and kill that kid.
Your opener is not a silly question, but rather a common and rather expensive problem.
The answer is maybe, I tried it w/the best locksmith in town after ordering the cheaper fob.
He wasted 30 minutes using the same equipment as the dealership, to no avail.
Fortunately the car opens and starts w/a key, so eliminated the fob altogether.
You might have better success speaking with the auto locksmith prior to ordering, I wish I had.
Our business has 20 company vehicles. and yes , people have lost them when out of town. So we relied on a cost effective method.
for 29.00 we utilized an online site that carried the fobs. We had to give them the vin # and from there they sent the key. Yes it took a four step procedure to have the system recognize the fob. What a hoot that is programming it. Beep twice, flash left, wiggle your toes ordeal.
I do not understand why folks continue to think the dealership is the only place to get replacements.
Suggestion (after the fact in this case). When you purchase a vehicle, it should have two factory (OEM) key fobs.
With those two fobs you can make several additional key fobs, for relatively little money. I keep my factory issued fobs at home and make dups for my wife and myself. A lost key fob simply means I need to make another duplicate fob, using the two factory units.
$225 is actually on the cheaper side. Some fobs run $400 to $500 and up.

. I have a 2012 infiniti G37, called the dealer to replace it and they told me $225 bucks.
