Switchblade keys

Is it possibly to cut switchblade keys such as the ones you see on VW cars to fit a Camaro? If so what would be the cheapest route to go and can you reprogram the electronics on them?

Those things are annoying. A single key bigger than my whole keychain. Fun to play with though.

I just started a thread about that not too long ago. I think you can just cut it off and then you'd have the key part, but I also would have to rip the guts out of my alarm remote and put it in somehow..

I dont know how it is done but I believe you can reprogram them. Sorry about stealing your idea, I heard someone talking about it and couldnt find it in a search. Anyways, there are a few guys that make blanks and Im going to try and find one that I can program to pop my doors.
