You need to do the job right OR don't bother at all. By the time you buy off E-Bay and add to that the cost, as indicated by others, to be $50 by a locksmith, ends up at 50% of the cost of buying a OEM unit already programmed, AND you MAY even F$#% things up during the disassembly and reassembly of the Original key assembly ????
All seems futile to me. !!!!
Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated. So far I have just swapped the internals into the ebay key and it works just fine. I put the uncut blade into the old key and hopefully someone is going to be able to cut it. When I took the key to Lowes and Home Depot, the people there were looking at my key as if it was some kind of rocket technology piece. They said that some complex tech is used to cut keys like this. To be honest I find it hard to believe.
