Title: key fob question??? old type to newer type
Post by: badboybunty on 11 February 2012, 14:34

hi all,
       i have been playing with my spare key as the case is all cracked its the early type casing i have managed to get the transponder chip out with out damaging it (really easy) just soaked the part in boiling water for 5 min and used a toothpick and fell out!

my question is i have a early type key fob with 2 buttons can i get the later type case and transfer blade board and transponder to the newer type case like this one???

yes thats totally diffrent thats for a new key fob

i have a early fob the case is cracked and wanted to use the later style fob case

the case has cost me £6 of ebay to transfer all the bits off my exsiting fob and modify the case

not to buy the complete key and pay to have the transponder coded into my car  :wink:

so will cost me £7 all in to change my case over to new type and not have to programe the complete key
