These switchblade keys require a special machine to cut the keys. Most dealers order the keys precut to the car as they don't have the key cutting machines either. My suggestion would be to get an additional key and transponder. It's been discussed in other treads on here. Don't order just the key blank, unless you have someone that can cut this special blank. The blank key with the transponder was around $30 with the finished cut key around $50-$60. You can't start the car without the keyfob part of the key anyway. From what I've read the keyfob interfaces with the security system. A standard blank cut may get you in the door though. Other option is the Onstar App for smartphones, but that's even more fees to not have to carry a key.
