2 Buttons Car Key Fob Case Remote Control Replacements Compatible for Opel Vauxhall Buick Astra Insignia Vectra Chevrolet Cruze Aveo Spark Captiva Orlando (1pcs)

Perfect!!! Look great

Really liked a previous review and followed their instructions. They were clear to follow but I just couldn't get the key to open and close as my original one did. After an afternoon of trying different techniques with the spring I watched lots of videos on YouTube. You have to switch over the actual key but just the flat part. I had a watch battery replacement kit at home and used some tools from there. I removed the pin on both the new and my old key, then I was able to put the old key in the new casing and put the pin back in. This bit was tricky. After that it was plain sailing and it works perfectly.No instructions included at all so I did not award 5 stars. Then fob itself is well made, looks good and works perfectly now that I've worked out how to do it!

a good looking replacement with good functionality, the hardest part of the assembly is taking the original key fob apart

After having the main key for our car sit broken in a cupboard for a year, I thought it best I tried and get it fixed. £200+ from the main dealer was not an options, so after a quick search I went for the 'Amazon's choice' product.it arrived the next day, (as usual) and when I opened it I was quite pleased with what I'd picked. The quality the case is good, with a similar weight and feel to the original vauxhall key, and it's easy to open up. Unfortunately the original key is not, as it seems to have been made in a way that means it has to be destroyed to get at the circuit board inside. I'd recommend using a small hack saw down the sides to brake the seal, then carefully prize it open with a screwdriver. I managed to snap one of the buttons of the circuit board and had to spend 25 minutes in my workshop looking for my soldering iron to fix it back on, so make sure you take your time.Once it's all out, the only tricky thing left to do is to get the key blade from the original key and swap it for the blank one that comes with the replacement unit. If you press the button to open the key and slowly let the key move around, you'll see a small pin at the base of the blade. Tap this out to release the blade on both keys and swap them over. After this the only thing you'll need to be aware of is that when assembling the new case the spring needs to be lined up correctly both inside the button and in the case, and you'll also need to wind the key part around anti clockwise to make sure there is tension in the spring or it won't flip open when the button is pressed. Overall it took me around an hour to do including the soldering, and the results are very good. It's pretty sturdy, fairly easy to change over and great value for money.*6 MONTH UPDATE*So, 6 months of use and the buttons are in a bad way. There's a lot less resistance when they are pressed and the from is blistering away from the body off the key unit. I've already changed it for a different style that looks a lot more robust that I bought from another selling site as it wasn't available on here.

Where to start with this absolute bag of trash. I'll pre-face this by saying I've changed multiple car keys, its not my first rodeo, but this is literally the most ridiculous by far. IT DOESNT FIT!On first glance, it seems sturdy and well made, after taking my OG Vauxhall key to bits for the components I start on swapping the key blade, microchip etc for the new housing. After putting everything together again within the new housing, I notice the key doesnt fit flush in the divot and the connector is protruding from the edge of the case. It would be serviceable as a key I guess, but its very obviously a miss-match.Start youtubing to see if I can find a tutorial and to specify where I've potentially put something together wrong. Turns out you need to swap the old key blade into the new connector housing too, to make it fit flush like its supposed to. Only the groove on the key blade doesnt line up with the new connection unit hole. I'd have to FILE DOWN my car key blade to make it fit into this connection housing. As dictated by said tutorial.I'm sorry, but having to file down my car key to fit into a housing that has been SPECIFICALLY designed to replace an OG Vauxhall key? Gave up on it in the end and threw it straight into the trash. Don't waste your money!

The replacement key was absolutely fine it was the hours that it took me to get into the original key to get out the circuit board that was the problem!! I felt as if Vauxhall didn't want us to perform this operation and to buy one of their replacement keys but I persisted and it paid off.From the videos I've watched it doesn't look as if it is always such a chore so I would recommend giving it a go if you need a replacement.

Good value for money, easy to swap out old to new and look like the original key.Would recommend these to anybody wishing to save money on replacements as some companies charge £52 for replacements.Tim

Initially was very happy with this inexpensive replacement after the original's unlock button disintegrated. There is a space for the badge and I was able to transfer the old one across so it looked just like an original.Before long the new flip mechanism started to fail, where key would either not stay back in after use, or pops out while in your pocket. After 6-9 months a bubble started to form on the fob, not even on the buttons but on the blank/ body. Functionally it still works with the car but it looks tatty. The original lasted 9 years, this might be cheaper but not very good value if need to replace so regularly.(side note: don't believe the videos where the originals just pop open, I even bought a tool which I broke trying to prise it open, mine must have been glued and I had to take a hacksaw to it).
