Drill a hole in 2001 XJ Key?
I've been searching and it seems my 2001 XJ might have electronics in the key. Sure doesn't look that way to me... I need to drill a hole so it will work in a really cool key holder, but don't want to destroy a chip if there is one inside.
Thanks for the advice.

I'm about 85% sure there is. When I got a spare made they told me not to use it to turn it on because it would shut off the engine and just do bad stuff.

You need to calm down, bud. You're still new here. Don't make the entire site look bad.
I actually didn't know this. Thanks for the pictures.

Go to a hardware store and have them make a 2$ key for your truck. Then check if it works with your ignition. If it doesn't work, then your key is chipped.

You are not wasting our time and you need to buy a spare key to start with unless it is a grey or black key then you can drill it unless it dont start then you need the other key.
What else do we have to do?
