Just a little update. Found a place in San Francisco with the same key for $41 bucks and that includes the cut and lifetime warranty

They also sell a newer version that is "compact" as to not have the problems with the wiper control. I personally like the texture and look of the bigger one:

Just noticed that the "compact" flip key opens in a more ergonomically correct way maybe I should have gotten that one (or get another )

they both do the same thing... Its just a key silly!

compact one is just smaller (like the size of a normal alarm transmitter)
