Yeah this is 2012. If this was 1952 I could trust them!

Mine is from yourkeylessremote.com. I put a call in to them, so I hope to hear something tomorrow. Also does anyone have the issue were the actuall remote part hits the rubber around the key hole and makes it tough to turn.
You don't need to put it in the ignition to program the remote portion. Read above, others are having issues with these keys not starting the truck. Yes, it was hitting the rubber part, pull it out and turn it around.

For the money I paid, I wish I wouldn't, between email, getting the key cut, and trying to program it, this is ridiculous. I took the whole thing apart, there is nothing inside of it for the pats system. It's the key and the fob, nothing else.

I got mine from yourkeylessremote and after opening a case with ebay (the seller never responded after 3 days) and they are sending me a replacement due to the fact they had a batch (duh) that didn't have the transponder. I'm gonna switch out my cut key with the blank when I send it back. Keep y'all posted...

Yeah I don't think I will be buying from this seller again...

This one is a lot more money but also looks to be an OEM piece?

So let me get this straight, you guys all ordered keys that are missing the chip for the key to start the truck?
Is the seller shipping you just the chip or a whole new key?
I might still get one of these units if this issue is successfully resolved for everybody.

Also I have the Auto Mate remote start alarm system that also locks and unlocks my truck... Will the same procedure to program the remote work with these units?
Will I be able to remote start my truck and unlock the doors with this remote, considering I'm not using the factory keyless remotes?
