I got my key and that was my problem also after the battery flip it worked perfectly! Easy to dismantle and get cut easy to program. Certainly better than the key, chain, and fob arrangement from the factory!! The only disappointment is that it is all black not black and silver like the picture (still on the ordering website) Sure would have been nice to have it in the original configuration to match the car!

Does anyone know how long the expected battery life is in these special keys? Or our factory keys? Thanks!

I just remembered that I bought one of these and put it away somewhere while the car was stored for the winter. Now, if only I could remember where the hell I put it - LOL

Fun key to use, but extremely hard to figure out what button to push since they are labeled black on black. Also, when you turn the key while in the ignition switch, it opens the front hood unless you are very careful. Will your new keys be labeled with white on black and red on black like the original keys? Also, will the buttons be less susceptable to accidental activation like the original keys? That would be a great improvement.

totally agree! I love my key but fiddle with it all of the time trying to figure out which button to push (does not help that we cannot see as well as we used to either!!!!!)
Same here, have the key and like the key. However, improvements considerations for future production: add a bit of weight to make it feel more substantial; as said repeatedly, clearer labeling, because I have accidentally press the panic bottom countless time.....very embarrassing; and, lastly, and this is a safety issue, accidtenal-unlocking the front bonnet when using the key is unacceptably high, as stated by others..... One time I was running in one of the "Mile" events only to see the freaking bonnet to slowly come up more than a foot, while I was running in excess of 170mph. Among other things, it wasted my good run, as I thought about it for a second or two (to either continue the run, or to kill the run.....), hahaha, but my senses finally kicked in...... Yes, this should be fixed.
The key fob is a noble idea, I used it for a while and liked it, but I do not use it anymore, way too many door ajar warnings, not sure if it's car vibrations or the way I'm holding the key or if mine is possessed, but I go tired of keep having to stop to secure the front hood.

and I did not read well enough when I ordered mine and was too late for the "pretty" stainless key, only disappointed when an all black one arrived. I certainly agree with the weight, and I have numerous times activated the panic, very embarrassed that I was purposely calling attention to myself!!!!!! (the car does that enough already!!!!!!!!!!)
Just to clarify. The key was never stainless - Just silver plastic inserts in the original mold. But now the supplier has changed to all black.
As for those that find the buttons sensitive - if you take a pair of nail clippers - the nibs on the underside of the rubber button can be trimmed.
Then it's harder to press the buttons.
PM for any questions I can walk you through the process!

My key also gave me too many door ajar alerts. Also got tired of shutting front hood. Don't use mine anymore. either.

I stopped using mine. Accidental button presses and can't remember which button does what.
