Can you just put your original key in the shell instead of getting the blank key cut?

No they are molded together. I took mine to a Toyota dealer. Some other key cutters didn't work. The interior electronics and the chip also have to be moved to the new key housing. My car is 9 years old and I have had to do this several times, so I keep an extra cut blank on hand, and just swap out the internals when the old one breaks.

No you cannot, the design does not support doing so which is frustrating and essentially renders the key fab useless as a true replacement.

yess u take out the chip with the battery snap it in and take it to a key lock smith and get it shaved to ur key its way cheaper than goting to the dealer and spending 300

No, the front panel comes off the key, but the key itself it encased within plastic to the back of the key. You'll want to take your old key battery and electronics, move it to the new key and will need to cut it. Check your model of car, but you will likely need to cut out the engine disable chip from the old key. I used a combination or razor, pliers, and a bit of fine sand paper, but it basically destroys the original to get it out of there.

It's located inside the original key fob and can be removed easily with needle nose pliers. Just place into your new key before you take to the dealer for cutting.

Is there a way to get the actual keys off the keyboard without breaking them to swap them out so they match once I change the values?

Not unless you have there key. Before setting the lock to the new key you have to use the current working key to put the lock into a certain position.

You have to have the key that currently works in the lock to activate the key-change procedure. Odds are against that, I hope.

This itme is just a Empty key shell with uncut blade , you need to cut the blade, 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 Carlos you can. So if you open your key as it opens halfway up you'll see a little push pin that you can push out and take the key off and replace it with the key that you arty have. Then on the bottom separate the two pieces and you can put the guts that little computer chip in and replace that so it can work if you have anymore questions contact me

If you go to a locksmith you can have this done. I did the same thing with my existing key.

As far as I know, no. Unless you have a copy of the original key. To be able to re-key the lock, you have to be able to insert and turn the key, and only the original (or copy of it) would be able to do that...(unless of course you have some kind of thieves tools...)

Hi,Yes, it's just a remote key shell only. NO interior. You need to 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.Best regards, July .

No. You must have the original key first to set it, then remove the original key and replace it with the key (another one) of your choice, then turn it back to complete the recoding.

never thought of that, but I am sure to fine the exact key to fit would be hard for I am sure that not all keys are alike. This would be a question for the seller. thanks

Yes, you can use your own key, just remove the blank. You will have to pull the whole thing apart anyway to replace the electronics and immobilizer.
