New blade arrived this morning - just had it cut at local lock & key for £1.76. Works in the door (well, it goes in) gonna attach it to the key tonight.

How do I cut out the old transponder for the immobiliser from my spare key?

 

[gazjones]

it shouldnt need cutting out the old original spare key just prise open the key then remove the cream colours rubber and the transponder will be loose, was in mine and then swap it with you one in your flip key, some are stuck in but mine wasnt and my dads work van one isnt

[Funkyfin2000]

[Funkyfin2000]

i have to say post 6 pics arn't very good!

Bit blurry!

There's none of that in my key.. It looks like it's stuck to the bottom :s
Any other ideas?

Mine was well stuck in...

My attempts to remove the Transponder resulted in dust, hence the start of my troubles..

Came out in about 1000 pieces

 

[Funkyfin2000]

any other help!

 

[justlivyalife]

Debating whether or not I can hacksaw the spare key apart? It's a bit of a worry though.... :s I have everything else just need to remove the transponder...

No rubber in mine either.Mine wasn't stuck in though t was just held in very tightly by a plastic clip. A bit of careful cutting of the clip with a craft knife and out it came.

 

[gazjones]

very fine blade to cut the glue out maybe not sure on anything else

 

[Funkyfin2000]

don't want to hack the key apart as want to be able to keep that...

cool

 

[justlivyalife]

Right I've been using a craft knife and it's now twisting around and around i just can't seem to get it to come out!! ARGH!

 

[gazjones]

just keep at it but be patient and dont brake it

 

[justlivyalife]

Yeah I keep having a rest 'cos if I break it I'm stuffed!!

 

[justlivyalife]

Slowly but surely working at it - it's now moving out slightly but not far enough!!!! ARRRGH lol.

I really think that patience is the key here though!!

 

[justlivyalife]

Woohoo It's OUTT!!!! Do I glue it into the new key or just pop it in??
