If I buy this key does it come with everything Home Depot needs to cut and program the key so that it will work in my ignition ? Does it come with the chip ? Thank you. Tom

There are no electronics on this key. I went to Home Depot and they don't cut keys you bring, they cut their own. I had to go to the Sears locksmith. A google search will helo you find the nearest one to you.

It did require the dealer to program the key. With the cost of the key and having to have the dealer program it, the cost was still way less than buying directly from the dealer. I am very pleased with my purchase!

Yes, the chip is inside. It has to be programmed by a car dealer or a locksmith. That took only a few minutes and minimal cost. It works just like the original.

You may need that key bypass if your key has a chip. I think it was about 20 bucks. Just look at items people purchased at bottom of Amazon page and you will see it.

it does not come with a chip; however, I had the key cut and transferred my old unit from my old key to the new one and it has been a total success

I don't know how the key is cut to work - but I do know that the key works - we've had to use it. I assume that at least with the original key fob for the vehicle that the key is cut for the vehicle at the factory.

If you purchase from us, yes the key blade is new and uncut and will need cut to fit and programmed to your vehicle. Thank you!

That's the problem. It needs to be programmed but I managed to get it done at Lowe's. They have the ability to make copies of keys w/ chips so I asked the guy if he can clone my working key to this blank no charge. I told him the key lost its programming. I got if cut elsewhere for $2.before bringing it to Lowe's

This key does include the immobilizer chip and yes, it will need to programmed in order for the key to be able to start the engine. Usually, you can find an automotive locksmith who will do it cheaper than a dealership.

No, only the dealer can program a new key. I'd suggest checking several dealers for a cost to program and buying a key online rather than from the dealer.

When I got this key it had no chip. It was cheaper to buy the key on Amazon, but havent gotten the chip yet.

I had one key and bought this. If you have two programmed keys, then you can do it yourself (youtube) If you only have one good key, then you will need to go to the dealer.

I would call the dealer and ask. I had my key cut at a locksmith but they could not program it so they gave me a # to someone who would come to me. Still saved $20 getting the dealer to program it, plus if it ever has problems I know where to find them.

You can only put the chip part. The actual metal key cannot be replaced unless you go to the dealer. That's what I found.

I didn't have the key cut. They sent programming Instrucrions but I couldn't get them to work so I had to go to the dealership and they hooked it up to the computer for programming. They charged me 40.00

If you have a "chip"in the key, you'll need a bypass module. If your car starts with a plain metal key (or a cheap copy) then you don't have a chipped key (I don't think yours has one). As far as connecting to factory electric door locks, this will work perfectly (and seemlessly) with them. If the car didn't come with factory power locks, they can still be added but at extra expense (around $60-100 or so).

There is no chip. You need to take one from your previous one, as well as the remote itself. These can be put in to the new unit. The key can be cut before or after.
