If I change my old chip inside the new case, do I need to reprogram my key again to a dealership?

No. You are purchasing a shell, not a chip. The only thing you are switching over is the chip from the old shell to the new shell

No, reprogramming is not needed. The entire internal transmitter assembly is transferred to the new case, not just a single chip. A very simple change, shouldn't take more than a minute or so. Works great, but the bottons on the new case are a lot harder to press, takes some getting used to.

no. if you took internals from the old key fob and placed it in the new case, you should be fine.

No. You have to have a chip. Migrating the chip from the old key is a major pain.

Yes, the fob does come with the necessary chip in it. Once the dealer programmed the fob it worked like a charm.

This is just a case to replace your broken one. As long as the current electronics work there is no reprogramming necessary. You move the electronics from the old case to the new. Fits perfectly. I bought two - they look like new once you put them together.

I am not sure to what your are referring when you say "replacement case". The key inside the FOB only opens the door manually but that's all. The FOB starts the engine and remotely locks/unlocks the door, starts the engine and the horn alarm. The FOB can only be programmed by the dealer/locksmith. There is a way to program the FOB if you have another FOB for the same car, but I have never done that. The FOB I purchased online worked out fine and even though I had to take it to the dealership to get it programmed all in all it was so much cheaper than purchasing it from the dealership.

If you have a chip in your key you will need a by pass mod the db al. If not that's it.

Probably. BUT with this new key, you have to reprogram all of your existing keys as well.There are several steps FOR EACH KEY - a real pain.

No, I didn't have to. The dealership had to reprogram the fob to work with my car but the metal key is the same.

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

You will need at least one key that is already programmed and a dealer had to program the new one. I payed $55

You cannot. Tried and failed. Ended up sending back to the seller. Bought a new Key Fob on ebay and paying the dealership to reprogram it and the one remaining one I had when we purchased the car.

Yes, but you'll need to get it programmed first. My independent mechanic did it for about $100 (hourly rate charge). Or transfer the old board... but only worth doing if that keyfob is not worth keeping as a backup.

Hi, The 2014 has 3 different keys that all look the same, you will need to see what chip it takes as well as the FCCID # to make sure it is a match. 100% Correct Call us 1-888-539-1362 we can help.

Moving the chip from the old key is a must. However the new key still has to be cut because the key portion of the new key is not removable.

Unfortunately I found out the hard way that this is not possible. I had the same problem. The new key comes with a metal piece that has to be cut and reprogrammed by your car dealership. The metal piece is permanently attached to its housing and can't come out. To solve my key problem I just used an epoxy to repair my old key that broke off (the metal part). The epoxy is strong and my key is holding. You can find the epoxy at the Home Depot or Walmart for less than $4. Hope this helps.

No you can't. The key with the new fob has to be notched or shaped by a dealer. Most will do it for free... it's in their best interest to do so. Just transfer the two chips and you just saved yourself $160.
