I do not believe they will sell you a keyfob without providing the info needed or is there some other info i might be missing thats needed? my unit under the car seat has been swapped out before hope that wont be an issue i thought i read it might be an issue.

There are a lot of people selling keys with either fake or totally missing Ipas tags, and you only find out the tags are bogus when you try to code the car.

Key? what's Missing?

Of course the photo of the key on BAT showed the good side of the key. I went to visit the car today, at the shop, waiting for center engine mount. of course the other side of the key is shown in the photo. What exactly does this key do? or should I say would do if it was all there.
