Flip up key fob - help and advice needed.

[Stevie25]

Hi all - purchased the follow owing from eBay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271742040660

I have two questions
1 - Would like to replace the blank key with my original cut one, but don't see an obvious way to do that.
2 - the brief instructions say that the case needs to be glued - if that is so then how in the future do you replace the battery?

Have other members done this conversion, if so how did they overcome the issues I am having?
Is there a better type to purchase that would be easier?
Any comments welcome.

Yes, you will have to have the blade cut, as there is no way of using the original valeo blade in the mini flip key.

Also use a dot of blutack to hold the transponder in place in the flip key, otherwise you may find yourself unable to start the car.

Personally I would give one of these house room, but each to their own
