I currently have a remote with a key (seperate) and they work fine but i would like to have a newer style flip key-remote ?

From what I've read, if your car didn't come with the switchblade key, it's not compatible with it.

that remots came out in like 96 97 didnt it so im thinking if your key is flat like our remote ones you should be able to get someone to make you a key than program the remote in it
