So I broke my third key Saturday. Has anyone had the newer switch blade style key for a while and do you believe it to be more durable than the original style?

 

I ordered a pair from 1010keys off Ebay. I was able to email a picture of my current key & they were able to cut it from that. It took only 3 days from SF, CA to Milwaukee. Amazing. I took a pair of pliers on the blade and twisted the key to see how strong it was. There was very little if any flexing. It is a much better design. I will be very surprised if this one breaks.

 

What year is yor car? Isn't there programming your key involved? So for newbie question but I'm interested in switching keys

 

It's an 04. You merely take out the buttons from your existing key and put it into the new one.
