Well if all these things keep breaking, I'm not going to waste my time.

Hey Nate did you get the proper key blade insert with that switchblade I found on ebay or was it the corolla one and you've got to do some more modifications??? Are they sending you the buttons?

i got the right key and it looks as if everything will work fine but in trying to talk with the seller in china and they said and i quote

"when did you purchanse this shell? we send button and pad together with flip shell to every customer, please show me know your purchanse time,and we will check for you.
wait for your response as soon as possible

Don't expect perfect English in China. If you didn't understand the response, he wants proof you purchased from him. So, send him a few pictures of the key fob and your receipt proving you did buy from him and he will see what he can do.

I haven't tried this yet and so far I've read enough people breaking theirs, so I won't do this. But then again... maybe you guys are just buying cheap fake shells and not actual durable ones.

i have sent the seller a couple of emails and i have not got a return email.

if you have a key pad and buttons in your current key that will work if you shave some of and the panic button will be upside down . i will update when i get all of this resolved.

Watching. Alwayz wanted to have something like this, and this second one seems promising if the quality is suitable.

So wait was it the right key blade? Did you have to request it or anything? I'm going to wind up ordering mine soon!

Just a thought, back to the remote start valey key in the transponder bypass module...

The module is just triggered by a + lead to enable the bypass, what if you hooked up that relay to a button under the dash / a pulse timer that turns on for say 2-5 mins after unlocking the car? Then all you need is the aftermarket key fob and a cut switchblade key...

I'd like to see the camry key with buttons working then ill do mine
