Default Re: Let's discuss the key fob transponder chip(s)

Would we need to remove the chip from our original fob which seems to be risky at times or leave it in place?
We could make back up keys as insurance in the event we lost keys for much less money than buying a new key.
Hi 180

You don't need to remove the chip from the key fob. You can place the key fob in the machine and read the file from the chip, no problem at all. When reading the key or writing a new chip, you need to make sure its vertical in the receptacle, otherwise it wont work
