How do they match it up to the stock key? I thought the stock key had some sort of chip it to start the engine? Hmm...

Thanks Chaseme... I too wonder how it works with the stock key and the chip inside. Anyone know? I wouldn't want to purchase one and just have for decoration, I want it to work.

I remember something further back that these keys weren't compatable w/US market 8's. But if they are, the dealership should just have to program it to work w/your vehicle. Would be pricey though. Someone jhsut replaced one of their keys, and it wasn't pretyy. (I think it was Mikeb that replaced his spare, not sure though)

I emailed JT-Imports to see what they say about programming the key. If it can be done, sign me up!!
