Hi

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions/resources for getting another key cut for my 1995 SC3 with the single lock/unlock button. From what I understand, there wasn't a transponder introduced until later years.

I searched the forums here and found a resource that dated from 2005 and figured the "group buy" deal for that retailer isn't valid anymore.

Also, do I have to buy the HYQWDT-B key (like my current one)? Or can I buy another (such as the HYQ1512V)? I understand that my car might not support the trunk/alarm buttons, but perhaps I could buy the newer key and have only the lock/unlock button working? I ask this because the HYQWDT-B is expensive and rare and the HYQ1512V is much cheaper and available.

Thanks.

I ordered the key itself, uncut, then went to a locksmith. They cut the key for 30 bucks.

Thanks for the link. Expensive still :\
I might just buy a normal key without the button. Not sure the button is worth the $130 premium.

just get the shell online with a blank blade and go to the dealer and they will cut it usually for a lower price. swap out the electronics with your old one.
The 1 button ones are pretty hard to find though.
