Just wondering can we? I would rather have a key with built in key fob instead of a seperate deal. Sooooooo can we?

I've been looking around online for a generic VW type key. anyone know where we can get these. I remember seeing one for a camry a while back, and im assuming it just needs to be cut, and programmed to work. any ideas?

its a flip key, but never had a chance to incorporate the alarm x-mitter into it.
i might try it on my xB key, but can anyone verify if our key has some chip inside, or its just a regular key?

no universal key......Every manufactures ignition and door locks have a different keyway.. jsut liek a kwikset key wont go into a shlage or falcon lock. i do remember seeing them for multiple cars on ebay, but it was just the key no remote.....
