Default < SCION tC FLEX KEY FLIP 273> a ebay push key

so my key finally fell apart so i try the one flip key from ebay just to try it





shows that my key is the right thing



shows the remote is bigger then the tray



shows the circuit board is bigger then the place to put it



shows the remote is bigger then the case its self
ok so the guy say it would but it wont
as soon as i went to email him he removes his account off ebay

i know some crap comes form ebay but this was a shot in the dark hope it helps someone

do you have the link, because the last couple of pics suck. turn on the "macro" mode on your camera.

You have to dremel the piece inside that out in order to make it fit...enjoy cause I have to do the same thing.

yeah, they way you did it isn't going to work...you have to dremel out around the immobilizer chip in your original key, and then secure it inside the new key (as close to the ignition as possible) using hot glue. you don't need the whole circuit board, just that small chip.

Guess you gotta take it apart one step further. I still like my switchblade though.
