seems like a good idea but what happens when it stops working? do you have to mail it back and have it reprogrammed?

yeah i dont know..like when you change the battery or something..i wouldnt want to send it back every damn time. but if i could easily reprogram it myself, like the OEM keyfob then there wouldnt really be a problem.

You can not program it yourself. The reason I am not confident about the programming is because it is not designed for our stock alarms. It generally can not support aftermarket alarms because it is a simple remote w/ single frequency whereas your average aftermarket alarm will incorporate multiple frequencies. It will also not lose its programming when replacing a battery. You are buying the flip key basically, not the remote portion.
