Will this work as a spare key to start the engine? I know I have to get it cut and programmed, but does it come with the chip? thanks!

No this comes with nothing but what you see.... a BLANK key that must be cut and programmed. IT HAS TO BE CUT BEFORE IT CAN BE USED IN ANY WAY!!!!! I...in Metro Atlanta area....can find NO ONE that will or can cut it. Honda will not even cut it. The parts dept mgr said this key will damage their machine. I have no idea....this is just what he told me. He said they charge $50 to cut a new key and $50 to program.... Well then... WHY buy this key online!! My key is useless... still sitting on my kitchen counter.....collecting dust!!

It's a good backup key. It has the chip. Just needs to get cut and programmed at the dealers. Instructions that come with it with it wont help with starting the engine

No, don't buy it. They have to cut it to "try" and program the key. My car would not start and the company would not refund me the money for the cutting and programming.

Yes, once mine was cut and programmed it did everything. Started the car and locked/unlocked.

yes, just a key case with uncut blade, no chips inside, you need to cut the blade in your local locksmith, take the internal electronics (include immobilizer/transponder chip) from original remote and place them to our key shell, then it is OK! There's no programming needed

Yes there is a chip inside, and as I learned the hard way, it can only be programmed by Toyota. A very good locksmith told me he could cut the key and program it, but to no avail, the key was smarter than his computer. Toyota did it $106 labor charge.

Yes it will need a bypass module or u can tape one of the factory keys key near the ignition switch where the transponder is , u can hide it inside the steering coloumn shroud ,so that it senses the key is present when the pcm gets the start signal and will not go to theft mode

I do not recommend this key the key has to be cut at the dealer because it is a 2 sided cut also there is no chip for this key will only open door and ypou can not disassemble . I would buy a cover drll the screw head off replace battery put a spot of glue were you drlled the head out and put cover over it

Check if your key has a chip. If so, you need an immobilizer, any type just depending on how much you want to spend and if you want to buy a cheap one that requires you to give up a key permanently or spend more for a programmable one. Any one should "work" just depends on how much you want to spend. And if you don't want to hook up the remote start then no you don't need one but if you do want to then you need one IF your key has a chip.

The chipped keys are a pain in the but. I bought mine and no one would cut and prograhm it.I did get it cut to use for a spare door key and to unlock the steering for moving the car.I did get a factory style key cut and programed at ACE hard ware for about $75.00.Good luck.

I don't know how the key is cut to work - but I do know that the key works - we've had to use it. I assume that at least with the original key fob for the vehicle that the key is cut for the vehicle at the factory.

You need two keys to do it yourself otherwise you will need an automobile locksmith or dealer to do it for you. However, this key is still a good deal even if you plan to go to a dealer since a dealer will charge you $75-$100 for a new key and an additional $50-$100 to program it. When I got mine, I just took it to a local hardware store to have it cut and programmed it myself (since I had both original keys). If you have only one working key, go ahead and get this one, get it cut, and then take it to a dealer or locksmith for programming. At least you will only pay the dealer for the programming instead of paying for both the key and programming. Your savings should be about 50% over getting the actual key from the dealer.

I didn't need to, my wife lost my spare and I purchased this item. I have a 2011 F-150. Took my one OEM key and the uncut key to a locksmith, they were able to cut and code the new key for around $20. Much cheaper than going through Ford, that was going to cost around $200+. I was then able to program the keyless entry on my own, there are several videos online showing how. Your locksmith may do this for you, but mine didn't offer. Hope this helps.

This remote start will work on that car. But you will need to add a interface bc of the chipped key. I like to use the idatalink ads-tb.

Yes, it is complete with remote and chip. Please note that you will need to get the chip programmed at a locksmith in order for it to start the engine. There is no way to do it yourself.

If your key is chipped you may have to buy a key to leave in the steering column to avoid a module.Hope it helped.

No. You will need to get the blank key cut for yours. You will also need to make sure you pull out the little electronic chip and put in new key shell or the car will not start. It cost me $30.00 to have the key cut at a local locksmith. A whole lot cheaper then dealer.

Yes if you bought a new chipped key it needs to be program. Same with key fob

It's a chip key. It has to be programmed. You need two keys that are programmed already, and then you can do one yourself very easily. With the instructions given. You get the instructions off the Internet. If you have one key, and looking to add a second, you will have to go to a dealer, ace hardware or Walmart. Because it takes two keys to get your vehicle in the program mode.

Dan, my original key still turns on my truck. I believe they use your original key to program the new key. I bought the blank so I can have a spare, so needless to say I now have two working keys. Hope this helps.
