check on ETK if this can be done. If you want a diamond key, it costs RM927 from AB.

Yew,

order two keys from ebay, one new (uncut) and one used key (cuted) both diamond shape. the used key (cuted) FCC ID must same with yr current key. programing can be done yr self is very easy.

new key - about rm200 (blade uncut)
used key - about rm150 (just need the electronic part)
local locksmith - rm100 (u may get cheaper at yr area i think)

How about the programing??

very bz lah.......no time online

the programing as following :-
1. turn the key to on position in car and turn off within 5 sec.
2. hold the unlock button
3. Press the lock button three (3) times
4. release the unlock button

if successful your doors will lock and unlock. program all your keys (max 4 keys) at the same time just repeat 2-4 in 30sec.
