Replacement Key fob

Chattonmill · 03-02-2009, 02:03 PM

I have been reliably informed that there is a 'how to' on changing the innards of one key into a new one, I have one coming from Gareth and just need to know how to change over the innards.
Thanks
Max

Hi, Yes it works for the chrome key but only if you have a chrome key in the first place thats getting tatty/ for when it gets tatty.
You cant transplant the insides from a black key to a chrome one im afraid, the chrome circuit board is slimmer than the black one.

I didn't think it could be that easy. Oh well, will stick tin foil to my old key in that case :-)))))
