Replacement Key fob

[Chattonmill]

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

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 ))))
