New Key

I'm sure this has been asked and I tried to search but too many results and couldnt find the answer. Will the key coming with the 2006 be an option to replace on older models? that key is pretty cool looking, I'd want one if that's possble.

I asked a similar question, you are talking about the smart key, which enables the car to start without the actual key being in the ignition?

The answer I got was that is similar to remote start unit, and on an 04 or 05 it cant just simply be upgraded. It takes more than purchasing the new 06 key.

However I did hear an 04 could get the 05 switchblade key. Can anyone confirm that?
