These are spring loaded to retract. I am still a little baffled on how to get the remote to fit correctly. The remote will not fit unless you take only the electronics and not the piece that sourrounds the battery, And yes, I have taken the remote part out of the key. If anyone has found an install link please post it.

Looks pretty sick to me. I think it will all come down to the price I suppose, especially since you have to go to a locksmith. Still, sweet!

I ordered the keys today. the price is gonna be 30$ and ill cover the shipping to the contiguous 48 states. they should be in early next week. ill be able to start shipping them then I'm gonna do mine first so i can include pics and check durability and functionality. i can accept is paypal or you can mail a money order no personal checks.

i sent messages to the first 10 who replied. i only got 10 so if any of them don't want one they will be first come first serve.

What you will get


whats inside


go get your key blank cut


next step is to take apart your key. to get to the little box inside


after this there is no going back. using a small screwdriver or pick/all. split the clear part from the black part.



now you pitch the plastic case. all you need is the board and battery.
Now take apart the new key.


and put the board and battery in the carrier.


make sure everything is lined up and snap it in.


time to re assemble
put in the cut key secure it with one of the little screws that came with your key


put your transponder chip in. I have no pics of removing it because i removed mine a week or so ago. all i did was heat it with a hair dryer on high for a minute or so and work at it with a eye glass screwdriver. first scraping the glue from the top of the chip then trying to loosen the glue on the two long sides before prying it out. (the heat is mainly to soften the plastic) i found that it comes out the easiest if you work your little screwdriver down into the short side closest to the metal key part. and gently work it out from there. pushing it down as far as possible beside the chip and gently prying up a little and doing that over and over till the chip pops out.DO NOT BE ROUGH WITH THIS IF YOU TAKE A CHUNK OUT OF THE CHIP YOU CAN RUIN IT.

i would recommend lying the dryer down on an edge of a table or something and leaving it on because you will need to keep the key hot while doing this. i don't mean doing it in front of the dryer but putting it back in front every 10 seconds or so to keep it hot.


put the carrier and the front trim piece back on


Snap the cover back on


These are the instructions the manufacturer provided




Now go try it out


The quality of the key is pretty good there sturdy. but the slide has a little bit of slack in it. long term durability i cannot comment on until i use it for a while
