So I decided to change my Gen 4 key to a flip key for no other reason than I think it looks cool.
I got the flip shell from here: http://www.wholesalecarkeys.net/modifie ... itter.html
I think 2 keys were $30 or something like that anyway.
Now you have to make sure you go to a key cutter that has a "wave cutter"
Some of them can cut via code and some of them need to "trace" your current key.
I could not find a locksmith to do it via code which is the recommended way so I used the spare key. ie the one that is least likely to have wear and it worked for me.
So the keys cots me $35 each to cut, then it was only a matter of swapping over the buttons and the chip.
Now the chip didn't fit nicely into the provided slot but I wrapped it in a little bit of sticky tape and then it was fine.
When removing the case on the flip key remember that there is a 3rd screw under the logo sticker.
Also that it will spin due to the spring. but it's really easy to put back together.
If anyone is trying it and is having trouble let me know.
So I know it's does nothing but look cool, it's still sort of cheap ($50 per key)
You can decide if it's worth it or not.
Different strokes for different folks.
Thanks, Scott
