Sweet. It is soooo much better. I am going to paint mine to match the car. LOL...Should have done it for the video. Just be patient when winding the spring. It can be a issue with some people because the board can move. If you try it and it does not work, leave board out, wind it, then put the board in. You will have plenty of room if you stop at like 1 /2 to 1 3/4 rounds. Then just slip the board in. Thanks for watching

Big SHOUT OUT to Pete D. for making this video ! Here's a TIP - if staying with the supplied key, tape the removeable upper portion of the fob to the fixed backside. This way you can lift up the upper portion to provide enough room to insert the (PCB) printed circuit board without having to go thru the hassle of unwinding & rewinding the key spring when replacing the upper portion. Just insert the PCB, remove the tape , press the upper portion back into place. EZ PZ Also, if you don't have any needle noise pliers you can insert two thin screw drivers into the opening to force open the factory fob.

I've tried everything to get this thing open. I also realized that your video faded out when you're tung to open the original. I've pictured my thumb trying to get the original keyfob open and I've almost destroyed it. This thing seems invincible.

They are tough for sure. Some more so than other. If the pliers do not work take two skiny , long screw drivers and stick in the hole. And pull them opposite ways......Just do it in a bucket or something so you are not hunting parts for a week. Thanks for watching

Since the key you are replacing is a chip key, do you need to reprogram the car to recognize the new key once you have the key cut?
@CamaroTime3 жыл бұрын
If you are replacing the whole key then you would need to reprogram the fob....I have several videos on how to do that. But in the case of this video all you are doing is using an empty shell and swapping over the internals from your old worn out fob. Thanks for watching

7:10 This sure did not work with mine! Finally came apart in about 150 pieces. I used a 12" pair of needle nose and it would not split. Had to cut and hack with wire cutters and pliers until the PC board finally came out. went in the new one in less than a minute and works great. The next one I'm going to dremel the sides all around
