you do know what to do next after receiving the key right?

yes it will work..but u got to machine/mill it and than cut and program it. You just bought a blank key..which wont work until you do the step above..

shoulda search around and find FLBusa thread where machine they key + switchblade included for 95 buck. after that, take it to the dealership and cut/program the key.

You might have a problem.

The key must be milled so it will fit in the 04-06 key slot. FLBusa no longer accepts unmilled keys for milling so if the buyer doesn't have a place to get it milled, it will be useless to him. Milling is making the key thinner and also putting the grooves in, and requires specialized equipment.
