HOW TO: my key conversion DIY
What i got

what was inside

got 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 come with the 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


The quality of the key is pretty good there sturdy. but the slide has a little bit of slack in it.

Well frankly, you need to be a sponsor to be selling things on this site.
We do have a very low sponsor group.. but that is geared to people MAKING things and selling them for the benefit of the community. In your case, you're buying some other product available elsewhere and reselling them. Not quite the same.
I'm going to ask that you sell your remaining keys (from the initial 10) and then not post them for sale here anymore. I'm not going to delete your sale thread - but I am going to remove the link from your DIY above (even sponsors aren't allowed to post sale links in the rest of the forum).
