Cheers lads, really wasn't as bad as I thought, the dremmel is a pretty decent one I've had for a while, but the solder was a £4.99 jobbie from Wilko's, the solder was thicker than the wire I was using, which happened to be some off cuts left over from some speakers!  :lipsrsealed:

In short, it's quite straight forward, just time consuming! :afro:

I'll try this when I get an alarm. The MK3 key is just too small.

Lol, I meant that the MK3 key is too small for fabbing in a fob.

I mean it would be hard to put a fob in the MK3 key. One mine is flat and the GL is too small.
