Thanks BBF for the reply! Yes, there was no blade key inside of either FOB. I will take your advise and head to the dealer, I'm sure its not going to be cheap, but is definently needed. Only wish I checked the inside of the FOBs when I bought the car used. I was use to having the blade as part of the metal ring at the end of the FOB, so I figured it was like Mercedes and even Hyundai fobs. Still love my old 2013 MKZ!

Unfortunately, a few weeks ago my car battery was dead and to my surprise no emergency key blade in either FOB! So I called roadside assistance and got the car opened and jump started. I was wondering besides the dealer is there anyway to get the code for the door lock to get a key made since I don't have one to copy from? Anyone else had this experience. I was use to my Sonata and E350 having the blade key as part of the ring of the FOB, so I expected to be in the FOB not a separate piece in the FOB. Are the newer versions this same way, a poor design if you ask me.

I have a '13, 3.7 that gets 16 mpg in town with heavy takeoff, and 24 mpg on the highway driving 70-80. AC is always on, as my model doesn't have an active AC off switch.

I just updated my new to me '13 from A7 to A9, just pop the old one out and insert the new one!
