No. Only the '07-'08 Aura, Outlook, Sky and the '06-'07 Relay use transponder chip keys
at the Saturn dealer. or a decent auto locksmith
The rear hatch stuck on my 2002 Vue and would not open with the remote. I opened it with the key and then sprayed it with WD-40. I haven't had any trouble since. Malcolm moose
You should go to a Saturn dealership. They will cut the keys on site and program the chip with your VIN #. Replacement keys cut at a hardware store, Walmart, etc. won't work due to the chip located in the original key. I just got 2 made and they (the dealership) charged $7.50 per key. Go any place that cuts keys, hardware store,walmart,auto parts store. They will use the keys you have to cut new one .
It could. A gray key does have a chip, a black key does not.
No, not any of the Saturn ION's manufactured by GM have chip keys, regardless of the model year.
