If I bought this:
Shark Racing

How would I get my key installed into it, if I have the key separate from the door unlocker system?

You take that switchblade key and your key to a locksmith and he cuts it. You are also going to need to have the keyfob programmed by a dealer ($$$$).

Let me know how much that runs you :P

Prob 1 hr of shop time. Somewhere around $100 or so unless you pull a tech aside and slip him a $20 to do it for you.

Not to be nosey, but why would he need to take the fob to be programmed? You just put in the circuit board from your stock piece....

Didn't read that part. So, no programming needed but still need to get it cut by a locksmith.

Okay, just thought you might have known/seen something I didn't.
