Has anyone experience of changing a later type "non folding" key to a flip job?
On my old '99 it was so simple the key cutting guy had it done for me in minutes once we'd sourced the best new key blank to work from. The keys for my new '06 are completely different though.
Still the good old Lucas shaped fob, but the flutes in the key itself are different and then there's the 'blob' on the end. To avoid destroying one, is the chip still in the fob with this setup? If so, is there an all metal alternative key I can order up to play with - or is there enough meat under the plastic to be able to cut it down to fit the flip fob?
