key FOB

I have a 2005 and I only have one FOB
I found some on Ebay for cheap, I know I will have to have them programmed but will they work? Has anyone tried them?

naw if you did a thorough job you would know what kpu# to get and if it would work, etc.

spoon fed answer just make sure the #s are the same and any one could cut the key, you only have one key so the dealer will have to program it for you

I have the switchblade key with my 04, programmed it my self, had the local tool store cut it for cheap

That was not my issue, I am looking at a switchblade fob from Ebay, a chinese version, look identical but who really knows.

So again I was wondering if anyone had tried these and if they worked and if the dealers would even agree to program them. I know I need the dealer to program any fob I get as I only have one key. And I did try multiple things on search for fob, chinese FOB, and Ebay FOb

Y. E. S.

many, myself included

You should have used better/different words when searching ex key, switchblade, etc.
this one is the first result I got when I used the advance search on this site, I excluded the FS/WTB threads
