Default Re: '04 coupe electrical problems

I would strongly advise getting a "blank fob" from Ebay. I've had to destroy my OEM's to get to the electronics. Some have said it snapped open easily enough for them but hey it's only 10 bucks in insurance.. LOL. And even if you don't purchase first - cracking open the one taped in place and basically "destroying the case" still leaves you with the ability to tape the RFID chip to the ring and save the electronics board till you do get a replacement case in. Oh and I don't know that its been noted.. and should be fairly obvious.. but when the two fob components are combined to one.. you will need to attach the "ring" back into the ignition switch. I think I've read where people were able to follow that wire to the skreem module plug in.. if so and the current "in place" ring has its complete wire "hanginig" then plugging it's wire in place might prove easier than disassembly of the ignition to place the OEM ring back. (as it is obviously still plugged into the skreem).


Hope I didn't just add more confusion.. LOL.
