2 In 1 Key Fob 4Th Gen

[J-Roc]

Update:



Great success! :lock1:



Today I programmed and fob (open door, key in/out, key in/out, door close/open, door close/open, key in/out, door close/open, door close/open, key in, key on, key off, key out, push lock&unlock together, push unlock) and the immobilizer (door closed, master key in/out x5 leave in, door open/close 6x, remove master key, insert new key, wait for immobilizer light to stop blinking (~1min) ) no problems.

Then, I took the key to the parts counter at my local dealership and after a bit of discussion, they popped it into their machine and cut it from my VIN. We ran it through twice to get a perfect cut and had to snub/file the nose of the key just a bit to get a nice fit/feel. It worked like a charm and this key works great. My tumblers were a little grabby on the new key, but I wire brushed the blade down to smooth the edges out and that solved it. Presto, nice new switch blade key works just like factory. I am a happy camper.



The best part? Once I got the parts guy curious, he didn't even charge me to cut it. FTW.

Great to hear! Now let's see how long this battery lasts us!

Even if I have to replace the battery once every 2-3 months I will be happy. :AK47:

So the batt don't last too long? Hope my valet key will work because I don't have a master

I assume the battery will last just as long as the original fobs.

There was a post earlier in regards to a different style of fob that other ppl were using....
The battery in that style of fob wasn't lasting....

These ones seem to be ok so far!

Valet only means no making new keys or remotes. I got mine with only a Valet as well. Cost 1hr labor for programming + about 10 for the cut + about 40 for the key to get a new master.

What's the code on the back of your fob? Picture?

There is no code on my fob. No writing anywhere other than button labels

Is it aftermarket? Or the original?

I assume it's an aftermarket one. It's all I have. Tempted to buy this ebay fob just to try it

Just wait, don't buy it yet. Ill talk to the seller and see if he has any more info. If it says 05'+ it's prob the case.

Leave it with me for the afternoon.

I just completed this last night on my 07 Limited and it went perfectly.
It really is as simple as:
1. cut key at Lowe's for free
2. program the new key as a master key
3. program the new fob

It took me all of thirty minutes, and the cost was only the $35 for the eBay key fob!

Instead of me relaying....



I don't think I'd spend that money until you found out for sure....

I'd get all the info from the dealer in regards to wanting to get a new key from them.....

And then maybe tell them it's too expensive for you right now.

Hope this helps

How long did it take to get your key in?

How long did it take to get your key in?

About 2-3 weeks i believe

Nice find! Put in an order just now. Can't go wrong for $40.
I've already got 2 spares, but anything to cut down size of the fob..

Exactly what I though!

 

[86mcss]

just did this for my 2008 and everything worked perfect. cost me 4 doll hairs to have the key cut and spent 10 minutes programming everything. very easy.

 

[YetiX]

Boom! Done. Stoked. :rockon:

 

[BooRad06]

Mine just arrived. Off to go have it cut and then I will be programming it.

Let us know if they have trouble cutting it.
