Hi guys. Anyone here have advice or experience with replacing their 3 button factory key remote with a folding type design? I want to transfer my key blade and internal 3 button assembly to a flip design shell similar to this one. I don't know if this one is a shell or the whole enchilada that would need programming w/blank blade. Thanks

I have no experience with that shell, but the description says this (highlighting by me):

So it looks like it has it's own keyless-entry circuit card and anti-theft chip, which would both need to be coded to the vehicle. And get the blade cut.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't read the whole page. I found what was I looking for. A few reviews repeat poor build quality and folding mechanism for key is not very reliable -

Did you end up getting this and have it function? Would love to get one of these.

No I didn't. My key blades and remote fob transmitters are still functional. I just wanted swap the blade and transmiiter assembly into the switchblade/folding style remote. But my '04 GX470 factory key blade won't fit it. The base of the blade looks similar to a t-square. It gives the key and plastic fob some rigidity when turning clockwise/counter clockwise in the ignition. No folding style fob for my style key blade. These two use your original key blade and transmitter assembly and are more durable: The YotaMD Titaniumand
