when you get it "programmed" i seen them do my key..The only thing he is doing for 70 bucks is taking the chip from 1 key and putting it in your switch blade key..They rest u can do on your own

$40 thats kind of high because I only paid around $20-$25 for mine and then pulled all the stuff out of my spare remote and put it in the new one, then cut the chip out of the key and glued it in the top right of the case by the button of new key. I took mine up to nissan and they cut it for free but I also told them I ordered it from nissan LOL. Here is mine...
So now I have 3 fobs(instead of 2 like you) and 2 keys.

See that's the thing..Mines was around $40 BUT the difference between my key and yours, you had to pull all of your buttons out of your old fob because you only had a shell..My key came with everything so the only thing i needed to do was "program" my fob which only takes 20 seconds. Get it cut and remove the chip out of my old key..
So now I have 3 fobs(instead of 2 like you) and 2 keys.

I bought a flip key with remote on eBay .it has build in chip . I promote it so the remote is working properly . I bring to a local store and cut the key. The problem is that I can't start up my car but the key can lock and lock the door. Is there a chip inside the OEM key or what ? If cutting the key is fail then I probably can't open the door with the key

The key you got on ebay probably has the transponder in it, but it will still have to be programed by a dealer or locksmith to work with your immobilizer.
What you did yourself was only program the remote (lock/unlock/panic)

great mod. Did mine some time ago.
My advice would be to glue the chip into the new flip key. If you drop the flip key enough times, it moves. If it moves, your car will NOT TURN ON. this happened to me! luckily i was home and repaired it asap. Overall, cool mod & worth it!
