All Metal Key

Did you check with a locksmith? I'm not talking about the keys you get duplicated at the hardware store. A dealer will only sell you what the factory offers. Not very much independent thinking...

My son had an all metal key cut for his 2001 SL1 at the local Canadian Tire...

I am not sure who made the blank, but obviously they are available for those Saturn's that don't have the chip in the key.

Does your Ion have some sort of active security device built into the plastic key head?

If not, you can get your key duplicated at any hardware store; I have an all-metal key for my wife's '02 SL2.

Thanks, Oppie.

You don't have a magic cure for my daughter's 2008 Dodge Caliber's annoying horn-chirp on locking the doors .. Following the exact procedure in the owners manual - doesn't work - a google search reveals the same issue on many 2007-08 Calibers .... .. some work .. some don't. Duh ! .. just a shot. asking here in the Saturn group. John T.

Sorry, not a clue on that one. Recommend you check the Dodge forums and also look up any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) that might apply. Might be a different software level that is in the BCM that controls these things. If that's the case, you may be stuck going to have a dealer update it. Do your homework first though. Oppie

Yep - thanks for the reply. It was the Dodge forums that said certain vehicles had to have it done at the dealer ... no explanation, though. They suggested that the dealer would do it for free - during some other service job. .. it's the dumbest annoying thing - to have a horn-chirp - every time - when locking the doors ! Our Taurus chirps on pressing the door-lock button a second time - that isn't necessary very often. John T.

I had 3 sets made at the local hardware shop. The store owner looked at my Saturn key and pulled out 3 blanks and had them cut in about
