I do the swap shown in the picture

If you only have 1 key right now I would suggest you go to dealer, get out the vaseline, and pay whatever they want for a 2nd key

It will be new Chrome one

Then get your older one swapped if it is important

I only charge parts & shipping for swap, no labor.

Key is $50 for new Chrome and $10 for shipping

Has to NOT have Key Less Go
