Have to say, after a few days of use and it being in and out of my pocket quite a bit already, I'm still pretty impressed. Still seems like a pretty nice key. Well built. Sturdy. Etc.
If my other OEM key wasn't still brand new, I'd probably replace that too.

Perhaps it should work fine with the factory alarm or RES.. or maybe not?

My only concern with that kind of key is that it looks awfully generic and I would question the quality. Might turn out OK, but looks iffy to me.
Anyway... checking in again and so far so good with mine. Holding up very well.

i might have to try this soon ack, i told you i had to JB weld this key. ive been using the same key since i got my tC in June 2005 (7 days untill the 4yr aniversary 
). Well yesterday at my doctors appointment, i grab my keys for some reason and feel that the lock button isnt there....
i dont think there's a way to save this one anymore. I guess ill just purchase the key you have and do this mod but not for a while?
