I'm waiting until the Z06 version becomes available. Until then, I'd like to hear some feedback as well.

Yeah, I know what it is... My VW Beetle came with a set of keys exactly like the one you are ordering. And it wasn't "all that". It's still just a key! The "reviews" will either be:

"Hey, it works! My doors open and lock and the car starts!"

or

"I think I've been scammed, my key never showed up".


There is really nothing to "review". It either works or it doesn't, shows up or it doesn't.

Really??? Soooooo, If it was cheap plastic, the buttons didnt really work, or the key was all loose in the holder and the spring loaded mechanism sucked, that wouldnt matter as long as the key worked and the car started??? Whatever..

This is why it's always dangerous to be a pioneer. The pioneers are the ones that get the arrows through their hats.

For $132, the thing should probably work no better or no worse than any other spring loaded key fob on the market. At least, you'd better hope.
