First you would have to send your Skreem module (I live in Germany), then the dangers of desoldering and soldering the processor and the postal way back to the USA.
There are many dangers that something goes wrong. You have to be very desperate (all keys lost) to do this.
And if you would take only 60$ per transponder, after deducting the costs for the new transponder, you would gain about 50$ (if you consider your working time about 1.5 hours as a hobby). That would be 26 transponders you would have to make just to buy the 1300$ for the expensive programmer with software.
I still hope that it works with my current cheaper variant.
Maybe the ordered transponders will come this week.
To do this someone may have to spend much more money than they would if they purchased a new $600 key from the powers that be. I am sure that they would be glad to get a pair of new valet keys or chips for let us say $100 as after making one, two has to be a snap, no need for the transmitter.
I have two keys, one hardly used and a spare SKREEM which I purchased it prior to the price hike, so I am lucky.
I think the big bucks are in cloning SKREEMs, l have two from other cars purchased for $40 or less some years back in the hope they might be cloneable at some point.
