Does anyone know if you can get the keychain like these? I think its the same style that is used in the BMW cars.I know the new Saturn Astra uses the same "flip-out" style.I chances of getting a remote built in is probely slim, but I would like the flip-out keychain if possible. Thanks in advance.

Vdubs have them to, and I think Mini's... $$$$$$$ good luck on your search.... which is what you should do, search.... Google is a good friend for such things.. I know I have an STi key for my Subaru RS and it's a 50$ key alone, THEN it has to be custom cut...

VW and Audi both use them. They are crazy expensive. One of the keys to my wifes Jetta somehow got unprogrammed from the car. We went to the $tealer to find out how much it would be to reprogram the key. $225 to reprogram, or we could just order a new one for $150. Either way it was too expensive for a freakin key.

Thats nothing.. On my dad's A4.. the new keys cost $400.. The reason is they have to reprogram both the new key and the old ones, also because they can charge that much. Lucky, they offer a less expensive key that doesn't fold out.. yet it still runs for $200+

vw, audi, acura, some hondas, porsche, and probably all the higher up cars have them..the cool thing with the porsche, we had a cayenne turbo s the a few weeks back, the keyfob is actually shaped like the car, had 2 head lights(one to show u it was locked or unlocked) and they both flashed when u hit the panic button. but the overall shape is actually like the car, has the outline, and the outline of the windows, i'll have to find a pic of it lol

I found them on e-bay. They are generic but will work. I searched under switchblade key.
