hello we have the lost the small black bit showing the unlock symbol on 2014 Vauxhall Mokka key fob can you help or do we need to replace the whole thing. The alarm goes off when trying to enter car using key

@PandaBero83 2 года назад

just remove the 2 pins thats in the way, put the PCB on the button side of the shell en put it together I do it on a daily basic and don't need the old style cases.. and customers are enjoying the 'updated' version. The only time i need a old style is for superseeded corsa remotes with seperate PCF7935 transponder..

@carlosfandango1931 Месяц назад

Did I miss something? Can't see any batteries in those never opened before key fobs?

@brocksisson2177 Месяц назад

Me being the stubborn person that I am decided the video was wrong and I should be able to fit the old key 🤣 After a few attempts a decided you certainly know what you're talking about haha. The old key will definitely not fit haha. Super helful video 👌🏼

@TheCarKeyMan Месяц назад

Lol, well at least you tried ;)

Hi, Great video. Can you post a link to the old stlye flip fob (Corsa D) reassembly. Just purchased a 1.2 (2009) Corsa D for my son as a first car graduation present. Battered old key flip fob case needs replacing, so looking to purchase repair kit from your website.

@TheCarKeyMan Год назад

Hi John, I haven't made one as the process is almost identical. I'll look out for the order ;)

@PeterB-x1h Год назад

The 2nd key for my Astra Elite 2014 has two buttons with a fixed blade. I've watched many of your vids but can't find one which refers to the replacement shell (buttons). I can split the case but am unable to access the circuit board/buttons portion. If you have a vid which shows this I would be most grateful, plus a source where I can purchase a blank case with working buttons. Thak you.

Hi Peter. Sorry there are a few issues, so we don't have a video. Firstly, it's very tricky to get the circuit board out, when I do it I need to melt the old case to get it out. Next, the blades do not switch from one key to another, they are moulded into the plastic, so if you do decide to take it on, you'll need to get the blade cut. Lastly, the replacement cases are not great

is it really that easy to open with pliers. ??

@TheCarKeyMan 2 месяца назад

Hi, I open them all day long like this. Some of the newer cases can be really tight and I’m not sure why. When I get a tight case I slowly increase the pressure and hold it on and usually they open

@stephenlynam493 2 месяца назад

thankyou

@johnthompson9724 11 месяцев назад

Is there a TACTIC - to use - with that spring part as you open it ? and then how do you kinda rewnd the case for the spring key - you make look so easy ???

@TheCarKeyMan 10 месяцев назад

Hi John, sorry about the delay replying. It's just practice to be fair, I hope you got it sorted out :)

Don't work whith Vauxhall key

@TAOSEELE Год назад

You don't have to be a genius to make it work. I use a Insignia fob for my Vectra C. Not a big deal

@TheCarKeyMan Год назад

Hi, well I agree, but a lot of people order the wrong one!

@lofty24g 2 года назад

So glad I found your videos, my blade came out of its holder and was quoted stupid money to replace and program a new key. Decided to buy your kit and with the instructions given in your videos it was a straight for job swapping everything over, thanks.

@TheCarKeyMan 2 года назад

Great stuff Lofty, thanks for the purchase, and for taking the time to post this feedback :)

@MannyG-no2ku Год назад

Great stuff , Thanks and yes you do have to replace the key from the blank key as the new case does not totally match. That is for a holden trax but excellent advice .

@TheCarKeyMan Год назад

Thansk Manny G :)

@joefromshineyrow2661 8 месяцев назад

This guy made the job easy. I tried to fit the old key until I watched this and like he said ‘you can’t’ brilliant video

@TheCarKeyMan 8 месяцев назад

Thanks Joe, everyone tries to do it! Glad it helped :)

@kingjunior7898 Год назад

Perfectly understood this, thank you mate. But it may be useful to include a link to both old and new cases if these are available.

@TheCarKeyMan Год назад

Thanks for the idea, I've done this now :)

@ianvicedomini2648 Год назад

Hi We've recently acquired a vauxhall zafira b on an 08 plate and we were lucky enough to be given two keys. One of them is a flip fob and the other is just a standard key with buttons. My question is, can the standard key be swapped to a flip fob by any chance?

@TheCarKeyMan Год назад

Hi Ian, I get asked this a lot. The simple answer is no. the shape of the circuit board is different to the one that works the flip key. As a result, the board from the static key cannot be put into a folding key. You may find something on eBay or Aliexpress, however a word of caution. Opening up a fixed blade key is a bit of a nightmare. The older safe way is to use a soldering iron to melt the seam and open up the key. It's really tricking and a job I hate doing. A hot soldering iron in the finger really hurts :(

@ianvicedomini2648 Год назад

I was unusually lucky getting the key cover open and as luck would have it, It didn't fight me 😁 but I understand what you mean about the circuit board though. Thanks for your advice buddy 😉👍🏼

@jfshaughnessy Год назад

When, if ever, will the older style be available again? I have emailed, no response.

@TheCarKeyMan Год назад

Hi, sorry if I missed an email. Did you still need help ?

@jfshaughnessy Год назад

@@TheCarKeyMan I am interested in the older style for the Astra H, with the file and pin tool, with or without the blank blade removed, shipped across the pond. Yes, we have some here too.

@majackslelo827 2 года назад

Thanks man, I was going to make that mistake😅. Thank you for the tip😌

@TheCarKeyMan 2 года назад

Hi Majacks, glad it helped :)

@colinmaycock Год назад

Have you posted a video about how to change a fixed Vauxhall fob? I can find lots on Flip fobs. Thanks

@TheCarKeyMan Год назад

Hi Colin. The fixed key is different, the circuit board is not easy to get out and also, the blade does not swap over so it needs to be cut
