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

The significant thing is that this "print out" seems to indicate that a dealer CAN reprogram the transponder in a key to work with your car. So, those ebay fobs might not be such a waste of money. We just need to find a dealer that knows how to do it, and is willing to do it without breaking the bank.
Tom,

Thanks for the info. I followed it, and it was a snap. I was hesitant prying the halves apart, so I just took a knife and cut around the perimeter of the half with the buttons. The halves literally almost fell apart, and no stress on the circuit board.

Thanks again.

Ed
