Card is convenient but isn't it suppose to be given to you by the dealer when you got the car?

A guy should be able to slide this in his wallet like a credit card.

I'm so happy to be able to simply keep the FOB in my purse without digging thru my stuff for a minute...... I could never live without this convenience on any of my future rides !??!

It works just like the regular key but it's slimmer. Only reason I bought it was the slim size factor (great for those who wear fitted pants ). I paid $298 total, which includes: the card key, the mechanical key, key cutting, and card programming!

And it's not made of plastic!

The back side is plain with a little cut out for the mechanical key.

I got everything from Sewell except the programming which has to be done with your car present. My dealer rep was so impressed he had it programmed for free. Normally would cost $76 for half hour labor.
