Is any key cutting required, or will the new key turn in my ignition as it comes from the vendor?

You will need to get the key cut. Your dealer may be able to do this (I found this based on the size of the dealer). Large dealerships have the key cutting tool. You will need to provide them the VIN, or you can use the one you have as a template. You can program the unit yourself.

I have purchased a couple FOB's off ebay that worked great. I got them cut at the dealer (did not charge me), then easily programmed both in about 5 min.
