Do a search and you'll find loads more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 There is actually a whole thread on this already, even someone who has attempted this without success. Reason being that the US version of the key is different to the UK version. The US version has just a standard key and the alarm fob is a separate item. Whereas the UK key has the alarmfob built into the key itself. The new switchblade key housing is slim and has just enough space to hold the internals of the US alarmfob, but the UK alarm internals are too wide to fit and the buttons won't line up either. So unless somebody designs a switchblade keyfob housing to take the width of the UK fob it's not going to be possible to do.
