Hello all,
I am looking at buying a replacement key for my expy. The one I am considering states "Please verify vehicle does not have an ignition guard." Does that refer to the plastic piece on the keyed ignition that the key fits into in order to turn the key?

They're probably referring to the key being a transponder type or not. Yes the original Expy key is a transponder key.

You need a key like these ....

Thanks for the response.
I don't think that its referring to the transponder since it says it works with the security system and needs to be programmed.

An ignition guard is exactly what the picture you posted is, so yes, you are correct.
(aftermarket/generic) folding switchblade key/fob combos often don't work with these. Those with longer blades will, but not all are created equally.

Buy the key thru amazon. I think I paid around $10 each for the keys and 8 for the fob. There is a letter stamped on the key and you have to match it. A competent locksmith can program it a lot cheaper than the dealer who wanted $250 per key. My lock guy programmed 2 keys for $50. He also did 2 key fobs included at that price.
The programming computers come with programs for ALL manufacturers

I bought 2 PATSII keys on EBAY for $4/each. I had my local Value Home center, cut them(no charge). I programmed them myself(instructions in the owners manual), with my two originals.
