I got 2 switchblade key/fobs with my 2001 Audi TT, but they were pretty beat up. I bought a couple on eBay cheap from China, they had a blank key and no electronics. I planned on getting the sidewinder keys cut and transferring the electronics and the security glass bead from the old cases to the new cases. I called around to the local locksmiths and was told that they only cut key blanks that they sell. I ended up transferring the old keys to the new cases, it worked out.
A few years back I bought a 2004 Ford Escape with one key and was able to get a security key cut and programmed by a locksmith for about $75.
