So I'm thinking of buying a volkswagen switchblade style key fob. An actual one from a VW. I'm tehn going to take my key part out of my shark racing switchblade key (sh!t), and put my cut key into the V dub fob. My next question is... If I get an alarm system, is it possible to program any (IE the V dub) key fob to work with your system?

$40 - $250 for a key?
I don't know about other people, but I'd rather buy high quality oil and filter or nice set of tires for that much money.

Yeah even 40$ is high although (sorry for the ot) where did you find it at for that price my mom needs one. But yeah this is a cool idea but probally not worth the money and time...

Don't know why this got switched to exterior at all... but... You can pick one up for about 10-30 bucks. Then I'm going to take my actual key part and put it in the VDub one. But still, is it possible to program the VDub remote to any alarm system or what?
