i'm jealous. quite a few other people tried to reprogram the maxima(?) keys.. that didn't work though. i'd definitely rather have a switch key. trunk pops and windows roll down and everything still?

oh dont get the 69 dollar one on ebay. they have one for like 26 bux. get that one and then get a used keyfob for like 10 bux. bring it to the dealership to get the key cut for ten bux.

all the buttons work. only the panic button doesnt work.
the keyfob look kinda bulky so imma go for the mazda one next. theres a diy thing for the mazda so imma try it it out. so it in person and it look way better than the one i have now

or ask a Home Depot associate really nicely to cut it for free or they'll charge you like $2.59 tops lol... you can pay much less to get a key cut other than going to a dealership
