from all the NJ theft posts it looks like you just need a screw driver

just remember, it will still cost you about $60 from the dealer for just the "key" part.
 
Buying a switchblade on ebay will only get you the "remote" part. You'll have to have a key cut at your dealer to work with your car. I was quoted $60 for cutting the key.

I don't know how worth it it is to buy a remote on ebay
Here's the cost breakdown:
Key on Ebay - $40 (Typically they go for about that much)
New batteries - $10-15 (kinda guessing here, but that's probably about right)
Cost to cut the key @ dealer - $60

Total: ~ $100-$115

For the approximatley $10 you'd save, it's probably easier to go to the dealer.
