SurePromise 2x 2 Button Remote Flip Foldable Key FOB Shell Case Replacement & Uncut Blade

My wife's key broke, the part the holds the blade and mine was tatty. Read some reviews which said key didn't stay closed etc. But have swapped and both are fine. Pros these case have a screw to keep them closed, look like originals and feel solid. The original keys are difficult (the case is likely to break of the two I did one did one didn't) to get apart, but there are you tube videos showing how to do it (making it look easy) I swapped both pcb's one blade into the new mounting and rebuilt the other key in a new shell in about 20mins. Cons (kind of) The pin that holds the blade is fiddly to get in careful but firm work is required with a pair of pliers to hold and push in then squeeze into place, when you do it that will hopefully make sense.

Soo long syory short the blade had broke out of ma original key so switched to tje spare then the open button fell off, so i had to use both my keys 1 to open and 1 to turn the ignition..... So after about 4momths decided to order these replacement fobs. I was skeptical abot the quality and the fit of these... Next day they arrived i was shocked by the quality id say they seem to be exactly the same as the originals.Next to the install pretty simple to switch over the board, the tricky bit is when it comes to pittin the tension on the flip part... Id reccomend you did this with out the actualli blade in use a small screwdriver and push out the pin that holds the blade, once you habe ot all lined up turn it anti clockwise twice and then clip the fop together l, put the blade back in place and r3plqce the pin.... Booom simple as that.

The price is good for two keys, but thats the good part done with. The key blanks have moulded locating lugs for the printed circuit board - but they are in the wrong place, so I had to remove them to make it fit. This in turn, made it much more difficult to fit the two sides of the key together,whilst keeping the circuit board located. You also have to remove the old key blade from the pivot assembly as the pivot is not identical on the new key. This involves removing a small roll pin and the old blade cutout is a fraction different from the new one - again, making the refitment of the roll pin difficult. I am an engineer by trade and have some tools that helped with dismantling and refitment, so a person with a non- mechanical background and/or unsuitable tools may find this more difficult than I did.

The old Opel Astra faulty key was not a screw type and appeared to be glued together. Very difficult to remove the circuit board without damaging it. However all now assembled in the new case, key cut and now working fine. The round battery container was slightly too small and I had to file away a small amount of plastic. The spring was fiddly to mount properly.Apart from that, all achieved for a fraction of the price of a new key.

Fantastic price for two key fobs, ordered in afternoon and received 11am the following day. I had been quoted almost £300 for a new key from a main dealer but was determined not to pay that-the transponders inside were fine, it was issues with the key blade snapping and cracking(I had two in need of replacement, one snapped, one about to!) so I thought I’d give it a go myself. Getting the old keys open wasn’t an easy job, they were most likely originals and the plastic just wouldnt release, cue a lot of swearing and using various tools to release the transponder! The transponder fitted exactly into the new fobs and then it was just a case of fixing the casing back on-you need to “wind” the case one turn before screwing to ensure the key springs out when the button is pressed, which can take a few attempts but there are videos showing how to do it on YouTube. After fitting the transponders I just got them cut at a local key cutting shop for £20 each. Very happy as for the purchase price and cutting I’ve now got myself two perfect keys for around £50, saving over £500!! Highly recommended and fantastically quick delivery.

Easy to assemble, great value for money, I changed the blank plate for my original one, was easy to do.

Blank key metal is unable to be cut. The key smith attempted to cut it for me (as the blade snapped off the original key), but said the metal was too soft / unworkable leaving them unuseable. If you are only using these to replace the case / buttons then seems ok but metal not suitable for being cut.

Good quality for an aftermarket item can’t complain. I’m not sure how long they’ll last though the original ones lasted for 6 years before the keys snapped off. I bought these as replacement after realising that some locksmiths were using the same casings but charging a fortune!

Non perfettamente identico al guscio originale, difficoltoso adattarla.
