Default Some have said their dealers have programmed the switchblades to work with the RF system...

But I can't get a straight answer really... someone posted a part number a while back. I just use the one in my sig. =)

Default Oops, I confused myself there. I thought you had the RF system...

Honestly, I wouldn't even begin to try to convert my system to switchblade keys... just because the key needs to put off an IR signal and the switchblades are RF (remote frequency). That's trying to put a box through a circular hole.

Default Your guess is as good as mine. You need the transmitters to be "implanted" I guess...

Plus the routing for the central locking vacuum line was changed in '95... not sure if it was changed on the S6, though.
