Really easy and your key will look factory.
If your skreem fails and you can’t get a replacement, get a matching SKREEM, antenna ring, ECU, and key fob (from a car with the same year/transmission). Install everything, swap over the key blade and you’re back up and running.
I think you may need the VIN of the car the parts came from or you will not be able to get new keys made. You will be able to replace the 'New' fobs key with the 'Old' fobs key to operate the locks.
