Red face New key fob for my '92 SC?

Hey everyone, tried searching for this but no luck...I was wondering can a new smart key fob be programmed to work for my 92 SC ? lol, i know i know, this may be a dumb question, but I've been wanting to know this for a while now. I HATE my key and the keyless button doesnt work so im looking to replace it anyway. Any suggestions/advice would be appreciated. DONT flame me to much for asking this lol

about your key not working with the button, have you tried replacing the battery inside? that might do it, thats what did for mine. and for the other option, i'm not sure what a smart key is, but i think your could easily take your "metal" from your first key and do like a retrofit into a different housing, obv that would still be the same key and such. just some suggestions!

good luck brother

Well the smart key im talking about is this...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...#ht_500wt_1182

Or if that doesnt work, something like it. But i LOVE that key and would like it for just the keyless entry ATLEAST

PWeezy, I opened up the key. The switch looks like it can be easily soldered (2 solder joints). Only one button would be used if you put it in a key like that
