It worked. I was able to swap the chip from my large key head with a dead remote, to the valet key that I ordered from Sunset.

There is a plug that can be popped out, then I scraped out some glue, then ended up drilling a tiny hole that allowed me to push the un-programmed chip out from behind. I slid the chip from my dead remote-key into the valet key head and secured it with a little silicone, then pushed the plug back in. I tested it tonight, works great.

Now instead of one working remote key and one broken remote key, I have one working remote key and one valet key that stays in my wallet all the time in case I lock the remote key in the trunk.
