Is this the version you put the spare key in the box, or the one that is programed and doesn't take the key? Need the one that takes the key.

the make and model of your care will determine if you need a programmed key to put in a bypass. The key that may or may not be needed will be one that has the program chip in it or your car won't start. You will have to check with an independant technician to determine IF you need to use a key that's placed in a bypass or not.

This is the one without a standalone insert key (I don't know if that means it's new or old). You have to hit the function key for the insert key to work on this model. Hope that helped!

You will not be able to program the key itself without a 2nd working/programmed key. Use a locksmith a locksmith instead of the Stealership. Their charge was $70 for they key/key cutting/programming, or 60 for same if I brought one in off the internet. Seemed like a no brainer, the entire process took 10/15 minutes. Stealership wanted 160, so it was less than half price.

I have two of these boxes keys are the same for both boxes. Seems like you should be able to order extra keys from company

Not sure, your guess is as good as mine. It looks and feels like the original. I have not had the key made yet; I did however program a new alarm/fob and it works perfectly.

I was able to use my same key. I only had to have the fab programmed. Good luck!

The original key will still work after you program the new key. Be sure to follow the included instructions so your vehicle accepts both keys.

Dan, my original key still turns on my truck. I believe they use your original key to program the new key. I bought the blank so I can have a spare, so needless to say I now have two working keys. Hope this helps.

I was told that a service man must come out and do the programing. I still had my old key fob (but the key ring opening had broken off), so I simply opened the old and new key fob cases (with a screw driver) and unscrewed both key fobs from their cases and put the old fob (that was still programmed) into the new case. Screwed it back and snapped it closed. If you lost your old key fob or it was broken, then you probably will need the company to send someone out.

I don't have the key with me so I can't check (it's for my wife's car), but I don't think it comes apart. This is not a remote entry key, i.e., no battery inside to change. Rather, it is a blank key that is supposed to contain a necessary chip that is read by the car and that needs to be programmed. I had the key cut by a local shop and it works fine without having been programmed.

Hi Cheryl...one idea is I can make a copy of my key and send it to you. I'm assuming it's the "same" lock. I'm working away from home right now and may not be able to get it to you very fast. When do you need it by and I can see what I can do ??

I would go to Jay Kordich's website (jaykordich.com) and ask customer service about the replacement key. The following link will bring you to a download for the manual. http://www.jaykordich.com/FAQ-W5.aspx#C1

You need a working key (most recent in use). not necessarily the original key.

This happened to me one time, a key inside the box got stuck in the lock mechanism. I basically just pounded on it a few times and jarred the key lose and then it opened up.

You need the original key to reprogram it. You need a key for the lock before you can change it to another key. Odds of someone having the same "KEY" is highly unlikely.

It is a direct swap. I noticed the keys are slightly smaller than the 'official' so there might be an adjustment period, but its not a huge difference.

I ordered four of these units and they all came with two keys. All of the keys are identical and will work in any of the four units. As far as making copies, I don't have an answer. The keys look fairly simple and do not say 'DO NOT DUPLICATE' anywhere on them.
