they have chips in them, yes. You cant just cut a blank and make it work, it has to be a specific key with that ignition.

the thing with the key, is that the remote....isnt the same layout as our remote...so you gotta figure out a way to wire it so it uses the same transponder as our remotes, but you can use the buttons from the other remote...my


I wanted to do that mod so bad, but Im kinda saving this as a rainy day project hehe

U can do a swap with a second gen remote if they have the right FCC id

But I doubt the 07 will be anywhere close, and squeazing our innards into a key that small would be tricky, g'luck though

If you get it to work by switching out the internals of our remote to a switchblade key, please do a DIY the switchblades are awesome

yes but the fcc id has to be similar, search for 2nd gen remote swap it'll detail what needs done
