eheheh mind as well use my old car spare key, & play with it from there ehehehe

Seriously it might be harder then u might think, the width of those keys are thiner then the FTO/Misubishi one, so unless they make one that will suit, i doubt it will work. If they do, it would look fairly big.

I've also notice, none of those guys on the other forum had one before (an actual Euro car one), so they just guessing the price of cutting the key & reprogramming of the fob with rolling code.

Well heres the bad news, i had one cut before, & it cost me $120 for laser cutting alone, & to reprogramming one cost me $400 (with the key), as they are a bitch to do. But that base on a Euro car. Maybe if someone work on this, it would bring the price down.

Yes they are, it was first use by Merc in the 90's, & also VW Group which now own Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, & Bentley (hmmm or is it Rolls Royce, can't remember which half own by BMW & VW).

Now most GM's brand cars like Opel (Astra & Vectra) use them too.
