Default Switchblade key fob

I'm not sure if this is actually a DIY but what the hell eh? I got a switchblade key fob from here ( http://toyotanation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=147654 ) and removed the key blank that it came with. I had an extra key for my bike made and I cut and shaped it with a dremel. Reinstalled it in the fob and it worked.

I don't think I want it sticking out of my ignition on my bike either, but, that'll do on my Jeep!! Thanks for the idea!!

The switchblade key fob was originally designed for a toyota key. It comes with a blank already installed. If you want to use it for a different car, or anything for that matter, you will have to shape the key where it fits into the fob. This is what the end of the key looks like.
