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

My dad, former owner, replaced the ignition himself and never got it reprogrammed by a dealer (it's honestly ridiculous for what they quoted him). So now I have (what looks brand new) a key fob taped to the old ignition which is hanging off of the dash within an inch of the new ignition, so the car will drive and function without the security system locking me out. I really need to lock my hatch because I am deathly afraid of my beloved JL Audio subs being stolen while I'm sleeping (no closed in garage at my house). Please help me. I will try anything you guys suggest. Thank you.
What exactly did your dad do?
One new fob that works the security system via the ignition halo and two old ones that do not?
Did your father take the security chip from one of the old fobs and put it in the new fob purchased as an empty shell?
Do the three keys on the fobs operate the ignition?
Are the old fobs original to the car or purchased on the internet?
We need the whole story.
