It comes with the key matched to your vat number, and you have to have it cut. You have to insert the processor board from your fob in them, I believe. These are notorious for having problems.

I wouldn't order from them. Their website is a little sketchy and their support email doesn't work. A sure sign of a mom and pop operation that is hanging on by their toe nails. I wonder if Ecklers is getting their supply from them?

they were around for a while and some members purchased the keys from them ... Havent heard anything bad, but then all of a sudden they were unreachable. Go to Ecklers for safe-keeping.
