Default Re: How to take apart a key fob without destroying it!

No problem fellas. I'm glad you liked it. To paraphrase the seatbelt folks: "If one fob was saved, it was all worth it."

Corfire:
As for reprogramming the circuit board (transmitter) from an eBay fob to work with your car, it SHOULD be possible, and I don't know why it isn't, but I haven't been able to make mine work. I've followed the fob programming directions to the letter and it never works. I'm hoping that someone else might know why, or what I'm doing wrong.

On the good side, now that you can take apart your fob safely, you can try it out yourself. Then, hopefully you won't have wasted your $20. Don't feel bad though, I wasted $60, and I have four useless fobs lying about. At least the case on my working one looks nice.
