You basically just get the key part cut, move the transponder chip and remote controls into the new remote.


On a side note, isn't there a big problem with installing remote starts in cars w/push start? As in when you remote start the car, and try to get in, it shuts it off? Just wondering since living in Canada, a remote start is often a necessity, not an option.
I dont see how that is a problem? The remote start just runs the engine but shuts off if you press on the break so that no one can just drive the car away. It's so you can get into an already warmed up car or cooled down car.

Also this "problem" has nothing to do with pushbutton ignitions, as someone said eariler both push button and turn key are electrical now a days so it makes no real difference what you have. It works that way with turn key ignitions too. It's the design of the remote start system. If you know of one that doesn't shut off then it should also not shut off with the push start.


That said I want a push button start with proximity key. It's way more convenient.
