I think you have to tow it to the dealer.

Dude, that sucks.
You'll need to buy new ones obviously, but your fobs came with a little metal tag that had a number on it.
Your dealer should have introduced you to this little tag and told you to keep it some place safe.
Find the tag, give the number to your dealer and they can program your new fobs by using that number.
If you dont have that tag or number somewhere, I believe your G will need to be towed to the dealer to have new fobs programmed.

Hmmm, I heard that the tag is only used for the inside key.

Hmm... I wonder if you are right on that one.
That sounds possible, and actually makes sense.
The tag looks like this.


Looks like the G may be getting towed to the dealer after all.
That double sucks.

I've got the tag with the manual with my first G and the second G was coming attached to the spare key.

I know it is too late but it is good idea next time or for others to learn from this. If you have only one don't wait till you loose that too.

The dealer can pair any ikey to the car using their CONSULT 3 laptop. All keys have to be there at the same time. If you don't have the key tag, you may also be looking at a new set of locks.

When I brought my G, the guy told me that they would have to put in new locks if I lost the metal tag, i think he was trying to scare me .. or maybe not, guess we'll find out pretty soon..

He didn't...
One was lost while boarding and the other one was misplaced at a different place and time.
My dealer let me keep my old fobs, back when they were replaced for the whole cell phone thing. They don't have keys but I have the fobs.
