Frequently asked questions
Does the key fob shell include the remote electronics?
No. The key fob shell is an empty replacement case: it has no circuit board, transponder chip or battery. Move the electronics from your old key into the new shell.
How do I know if my key is the G series type?
Open your current key: the G series key fob shell matches keys whose inside has the battery holder and circuit board laid out as in the comparison photo, which also shows the older FEM type that it does not fit.
What is the difference between the two options?
Both key fob shells have 4 buttons. The panic option has door open, door lock, boot and a red panic button; the standard option has door open, door lock, boot and a fourth function button instead of panic.
Do I need to reprogram the key after changing the shell?
Moving the original circuit board into the key fob shell does not change the electronics, so the car does not see a new key.
