Default Key fob

Ok here's the question. I've got an '05 with the separate key fob. Is there a way to use the newer keys where the key and fob are one unit on it? I have been through so many cases on my key fob I just figured there was a better way.

Sorry, the newer keys with the fobs all as one unit will not work. They run on a different frequency

Found a company on ebay that uses the guts from your remote and puts it in a folding key.

I have that folding key (aka Switchblade). Had to take it to a local locksmith so they could program the key to be recognizable by the PCM. Price will vary by location, but it has worked flawlessly in two years of use.

Found it on ebay a ways back, don't have a link, just search like I did. It's an empty case, just get the key cut and transfer the battery and buttons intoi the empty case. Keep in mind I don't have SKIM, if you do you'll need some thing with a chip to be programmed.
