1BADLS3, I purchased the remote start and 2 uncoded blank keys from my local dealer. When I went to get it installed they said they could not install it because they dont have a key cutter. I then asked them why the hell they sold me the keys and the starter and scheduled the install.. Anyway, I have installed the remote starter harness, etc. So all I have left is to program the keyfobs which I can do, get the keys cut, and then take it to the dealer for them to program the BCM. So I was wondering since I will not need my old key fobs, to just swap one key, program it, then swap the other key and program that, then go out to the dealer so they can program the computer. So my origional question was - can\how do I remove the actual key from one fob and put it in the new fob.

yes you can......but it does require opening up the fob.....there is a single screw that holds the key in. I have seen pictures of one opened. since there is a BATTERY in the fob, the dealer will have the ability to open it up and replace/swap out the blade.

There is a bulletin on how to order pre cut keys if they don't have the cutter.
You can take the back off your key fob by opening the key, then prying the lower back piece with your finger. The owner's manual tells how to get to the battery that way. That will at least get part of the back off to access the battery, not sure if the key is then accessible. |
