Any recommendations for replacement key fob?

:
21 CX9 GT, 19 CX5 Signature
Any recommendations on where to get a (prefer oem) key fob? Four button, big box. Just purchased 2021 CX-9 and at delivery dealer surprises me with just one key fob (I wont make this mistake ever again). Otherwise will use keylessentryremoteinc dot com.
 
e-Bay can have them for cheap. Then get a mobile locksmith to program it. Price the fob with them as well.
That sounds great, but looking at ebay all I see are key fob shells/covers, not the actual key fob itself. Is there anywhere else we can get one? Mazda is asking over CDN$300 for them, plus $160 for programming. That's a bit insane.

There were lots a year ago when the op posted. Here are two current listings.....



A mobile locksmith will have them, but possibly a bit more expensive.
 
Wow, thanks. Obviously I suck at searching.

As for your locksmith comment, indeed they do. I just got off the phone with a local locksmith. They actually offer their own as you say, including programming. First shop offered me a price of $350 for keyfob + programming, which is cheaper than Mazda. Another shop offered even less, but they also told me they need the VIN to be sure. Anyway, this gives me some options. Thanks.
 
One thing they told is that once a key is programmed to a VIN, it can not be reprogrammed to another. So something to watch out for.
 
#1 - Yes get an OEM fob ----It would have been easier to decline the sale unless they supplied another key but that ship sailed - as it gets close to $500 to get it replaced and programmed - see if they will wholesale you a new fob and program it free under the circumstances -- They should just replace it or contact the previous owner and see if they have it -- often they do find it once a cars been traded - never know - best of luck
