This product doesn’t come with any instructions and as a few others have said, you need to be a mildly competent DIYer to do this. You’ll need a medium size flat blade screwdriver (for prying your old fob apart, as it’s all glued), a Stanley knife/box cutter/utility knife to help cut open your old fob, a hammer, a 1mm punch or similar (I used a tack nail and cut off the sharp end) and a vice, or block of wood with a hole in it, which you’ll use to allow the pin to come out of your existing key blade. Remove the battery cover on your existing fob and remove the battery and flip open the key blade. Use the box cutter to cut along the lines shown in my pictures but cutting in a downward direction, towards the base. Then get your screwdriver and insert it into the area of the key blade and prise it up as hard as you can to split the casing apart and just keep doing this all the way around. It’s hard and time consuming and you’ll trash your old fob casing, but just be really careful not to damage the circuit board. Once you have the circuit board out, transfer it to the new fob. Take out your old key blade and also take out the same on your new fob. You’ll see the old blade has a little pin holding it to the swivel part, you need to remove this on both old and new blades and swap your old blade onto the new swivel part (that the spring goes through). This is where the hammer, punch/nail and vice/wood come into it. Reassemble the blade and swivel and put it back into the new fob. Don’t forget to twist some tension on the spring; I did this by half replacing the lid and then swivelling it 1.5 complete turns before snapping the case back together. Put the battery back in and it should all work. I’m very pleased with the fob, it looks almost identical and works in the same way. It certainly saves £170 for a new fob with the electronics in it. I gave it 4 stars for the lack of instructions.

Bought this to swap over the internals after the original key buttons got pushed in. Was a bit of a pain trying to find something to punch out the retaining pin for the key blade. Would be nice if it included one but then that would probably push up the price. Got it done in the end and no more having to stick stuff into a hole to lock/unlock the car. Been in daily use now for about 6 months and holding up well

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.

Would give this and others like it, no points if I could, for the simple reason that even if you overcome the incompatible and fit the original and new parts together you still might have to get an Auto locksmith to cut the new key blade which not many are willing to do. Assuming you have got this far you then have two further stages to overcome that are not the same at all. First you have to get your car programmed which requires a professional to come to you or you take your car to them, you aren’t able to do this yourself. Second, synchronising the new key to the newly programmed car. You can do this yourself by following instructions on line, Don’t take my word for it, ask around any hardware store or car accessories dealer and they will tell you what they told me last week after staying up to 4.00a.m trying to get the old key apart and swapping incompatible parts with slight differences together.. If it was that easy why don’t Halfords provide this service,(look it up on line). Timpsons only do it at certain stores that you will have to take your car to for the first stage of programming. In the end I had a mobile Autosmith come to my drive within two hours and in 40 minutes handed me my new genuinely branded Vauxhall key, job done. After all my trouble and knowing what the job involved I didn’t much care how much he charged me . It was still £20 cheaoer than other quotes I had been given from the few places willing to do it and about half the price if you went to your car’s manufacturers dealership. Each of the photos below try to show the small differences between the old Vauxhall parts on the left, and the new parts on the right, which might explain why I was up to 4.00a.m .

The first Key case I bought didn’t fit. This was perfecr for a Vauxhall astra key

Fits together well. Time will tell if it falls apart

It seems ok a little flimsy and I suspect the buttons won’t last long if in daily use. As others have said it’s not an exact copy and the key mechanism is different so you have to remove the key and change it over into the new fob. Not a major issue but you will need a few basic tools to do successfully. For the price I paid I am happy with the fob much cheaper than going to the main dealer!

Acheté pour opel astra J année 2015 Après avoir passé plus de 3h à démonter l'ancienne clef collée, mais vraiment collée soudée, impossible d'aligner le bouton poussoir d'ouverture. Mal ajusté avec la clef d'origine. OK, c'est pas cher. Mais impossible à remonter. Ne correspond pas à la partie métallique de la clef d'origine. Seule solution, aller au clef minute pour graver la lame vierge. 20 euros supplémentaires. Pour le ressort, il faut tourner au moins 2 tours pour le mettre en place et que cela fonctionne. Et réussir à emboiter le tout du premier coup. J'ai mis 2 minutes pour faire cette action. Changement de pile. Tout fonctionne. Nickel. Chez OPEL, c'est devis 454 euros pour refaire la clef et la programmation, ils changent TOUT , boite, lame. Vraiment trop cher OPEL.

Works as intended, good quality for a non genuine replacement at a fraction of the price. Note this is the shell only and doesn't include the internal electronic components.

Ich war zunächst skeptisch, ob man für so wenig Geld ein hochwertiges Ersatz-Schlüsselgehäuse erhalten kann. Doch ich wurde angenehm überrascht! Das Kelay 2-Tasten Schlüsselgehäuse erwies sich als exzellente Wahl. Die Montage war ein Kinderspiel - alles passte gleich beim ersten Anhieb. Es war kein lästiges Feilen oder Anpassen erforderlich. Nach dem Einbau funktioniert mein Schlüssel genauso gut wie zuvor, ohne jegliche Probleme. Die Tasten reagieren einwandfrei und das Gehäuse liegt angenehm in der Hand. Auch nach mehreren Monaten intensiver Nutzung bin ich immer noch vollkommen zufrieden mit diesem Produkt. Es ist nach wie vor voll funktionsfähig und hat keine Anzeichen von Verschleiß gezeigt. Die Qualität hat mich wirklich überzeugt. Aus diesem Grund gebe ich begeisterte 5 Sterne für das Kelay 2-Tasten Schlüsselgehäuse. Es bietet nicht nur ein hervorragendes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, sondern erfüllt auch alle meine Erwartungen an ein Ersatzgehäuse. Ich kann es uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Tras ver 2 o 3 turoriales, se cambia perfectamente. Funciona para Chevrolet Orlando.
