Nice truck man! Thanks for the video. Mind doing a video with a walk around of your truck? Looks nice. I really like the halo headlights. I want to do it to mine too
Will the original key and fob continue to work after programming the new key and fob? Asking because I'd like to know if the originals can be kept as spares. Thanks and nice video.
Not sure about free, but yes they will cut the key for you. They cut it free for me because I told them that I'll be programming it on my own. I just had a key cut at Honda for $16. So not as cheap as places like Walmart and such.

I don't think the chip in this fob will be the same as yours. You can try but I'm not sure if it'll work. But this will not start the car.
How do you replace the battery when it eventually fails? Amazon answers won't reply to that question.
I always will find a way, and when I do, I'll be sure to share it here! But it shouldn't be hard, pops like any fob I assume.
