Default Re: Answered my own question! Easy key fix for non-working remote!

As you can see from the pic below, by tapping out the set pin you ARE able to pull the cut portion of the key out and replace it into a working fob. Don't know if this will help anyone, but there are always good used keys on Ebay and this is a really simple process. Might save you some money if you have a remote that doesn't work and want to replace it and not drop $150 at the stealership for a whole new key.

What did you use to tap out the key?
