No, not any of the Saturn ION's manufactured by GM have chip keys, regardless of the model year.

Hi
No. This doesn't mean any properly cut key will work though. The computers in the car are sophisticated enough to tell which metals the key is made from. The car then compares the metallurgy of the key in the ignition to the file on the computer's memory. If they match, the car will start.
i think you're a bit stuck
No. The suburban didn't get a transponder key until 2007.
You have a failure with the key or the computer that senses the chip in the key.
No. Only the '07-'08 Aura, Outlook, Sky and the '06-'07 Relay use transponder chip keys
It could have the Sentry Key system (chip key).
Most Chrysler dealers have key machines. Your key most likely has a "chip" that requires programming.
You have to go to the Saturn (or other GM) dealership to get your key made. You will need to provide proof of ownership (title) and a photo ID (driver's license). Only the person with his/her name on the title will be able to get the key made.
If you are changing it because your vehicle won't start when it is cold or humid, don't bother replacing it. Instead, you need to disable the PASSLOCK system. To find out how to do that search for "cut the white wire Saturn ion" on youtube. Good luck.
