Can I use the electronics of the FOB for a key that I already have cut or are they one molded piece?

Yes, the parts are interchangeable, but will need programmed to work with your vehicle.

Yes, you can take the electronics out but they would have to be programmed to work with the vehicle. If it is not programmed correctly, the key will work in the door locks only. The remote will not lock or unlock the doors and the key will not start the vehicle. Hope this helps.

The electronics will work to open the door and you can move the electronics for that from one key to another. However, there are apparently other electronics/settings associated with the key itself and you have to get it cut and programed to actually be able to also start the car with it.

You must ensure that your local locksmith can "cut" the shape of the original key, just like the you do a copy of your home keys. The second part is to ensure that the locksmith have de machine that connects to car and duplicate the code inside the chip and also can copy that code into the new key. The connection plug is below the steerring wheel, for me works with no problem!, good luck

It's located inside the original key fob and can be removed easily with needle nose pliers. Just place into your new key before you take to the dealer for cutting.

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.

Yes. It must be cut to shape as the other key already with you. And coded. .it works well.

This only an empty case that you slip your existing electronics into. Unless it is exactly like your current fob it will not work.

Yes you can you need to keep same end with key, there is a chip embedded in the plastic under the button but the lock/ unlock end can be switched out just make sure the number of buttons is the same and pull the board out and swap em

No they are molded together. I took mine to a Toyota dealer. Some other key cutters didn't work. The interior electronics and the chip also have to be moved to the new key housing. My car is 9 years old and I have had to do this several times, so I keep an extra cut blank on hand, and just swap out the internals when the old one breaks.

Yes the key is uncut. You can get it cut when you are getting the remote programmed

Also as stated in someone else answer you need 2 that is not true. They only needed one key to program after it was cut.

you need to open the key fob. There is a tiny hard to find clip on the side. This separates the key from the computer chip. Inside is a barely visible number which will tell you exactly which key fob you need. You cannot use any key except the one which the code matches. The code is semi transparent and almost looks like a smudge. Also the replacement fob may look different than the original. It is the product codes which must match.

Probaly not, if your key looked exactly like this, everything will work. You have to pull out the circut board, and I actually removed the actual key from the old key, because the shell was completely smashed and held together with tape. And with a little bit of grinding down a few of the edges with a blade, it fit decently well together and now all of the key works. But if you didn't have the button on your old key, it won't likely be in your circut board in your original, therefore it won't work. Hope this info helps.

Yes you can put in your old key without having the new one cut. I bought it for the same application.

That is going to depend on whether it is the same FCC/part number and whether there are any other issues with your old fob. Your best bet- if you are certain of the FCC/Part number- is to have the new key cut and programmed since you will need to purchase the key in its entirety anyhow. -Keyless4u

Yes, also if you have another ne for the same car, you need to take it at the same time. All keys need reprogramming together.
