Crazy! but works. Charges by induction. It worked on my second old key with it able to lock and unlock car but the battery wont hold the charge for very long. Eventually i may try to change its battery.

Yep, that was my experience as well. Just a plain key (no fob) was $75; for the key with buttons it was $250-ish. My old fob works to unlock, lock, etc but won't start the vehicle.
And thanks for the tip of the toothbrush charger; I would love to have a second working fob!
