KelayKelay 2 Buttons Car Key Fob Case Remote Control Replacements Compatible for Opel Vauxhall Buick Astra Insignia Vectra Chevrolet Cruze Aveo Spark Captiva Orlando (1pcs)

The replacement key was absolutely fine it was the hours that it took me to get into the original key to get out the circuit board that was the problem!! I felt as if Vauxhall didn't want us to perform this operation and to buy one of their replacement keys but I persisted and it paid off.From the videos I've watched it doesn't look as if it is always such a chore so I would recommend giving it a go if you need a replacement.

This product doesn’t come with any instructions and as a few others have said, you need to be a mildly competent DIYer to do this. You’ll need a medium size flat blade screwdriver (for prying your old fob apart, as it’s all glued), a Stanley knife/box cutter/utility knife to help cut open your old fob, a hammer, a 1mm punch or similar (I used a tack nail and cut off the sharp end) and a vice, or block of wood with a hole in it, which you’ll use to allow the pin to come out of your existing key blade.Remove the battery cover on your existing fob and remove the battery and flip open the key blade. Use the box cutter to cut along the lines shown in my pictures but cutting in a downward direction, towards the base. Then get your screwdriver and insert it into the area of the key blade and prise it up as hard as you can to split the casing apart and just keep doing this all the way around. It’s hard and time consuming and you’ll trash your old fob casing, but just be really careful not to damage the circuit board.Once you have the circuit board out, transfer it to the new fob.Take out your old key blade and also take out the same on your new fob. You’ll see the old blade has a little pin holding it to the swivel part, you need to remove this on both old and new blades and swap your old blade onto the new swivel part (that the spring goes through). This is where the hammer, punch/nail and vice/wood come into it.Reassemble the blade and swivel and put it back into the new fob. Don’t forget to twist some tension on the spring; I did this by half replacing the lid and then swivelling it 1.5 complete turns before snapping the case back together.Put the battery back in and it should all work.I’m very pleased with the fob, it looks almost identical and works in the same way. It certainly saves £170 for a new fob with the electronics in it.I gave it 4 stars for the lack of instructions.

Arrived quickly, and worked perfectly

After having the main key for our car sit broken in a cupboard for a year, I thought it best I tried and get it fixed. £200+ from the main dealer was not an options, so after a quick search I went for the 'Amazon's choice' product.it arrived the next day, (as usual) and when I opened it I was quite pleased with what I'd picked. The quality the case is good, with a similar weight and feel to the original vauxhall key, and it's easy to open up. Unfortunately the original key is not, as it seems to have been made in a way that means it has to be destroyed to get at the circuit board inside. I'd recommend using a small hack saw down the sides to brake the seal, then carefully prize it open with a screwdriver. I managed to snap one of the buttons of the circuit board and had to spend 25 minutes in my workshop looking for my soldering iron to fix it back on, so make sure you take your time.Once it's all out, the only tricky thing left to do is to get the key blade from the original key and swap it for the blank one that comes with the replacement unit. If you press the button to open the key and slowly let the key move around, you'll see a small pin at the base of the blade. Tap this out to release the blade on both keys and swap them over. After this the only thing you'll need to be aware of is that when assembling the new case the spring needs to be lined up correctly both inside the button and in the case, and you'll also need to wind the key part around anti clockwise to make sure there is tension in the spring or it won't flip open when the button is pressed. Overall it took me around an hour to do including the soldering, and the results are very good. It's pretty sturdy, fairly easy to change over and great value for money.*6 MONTH UPDATE*So, 6 months of use and the buttons are in a bad way. There's a lot less resistance when they are pressed and the from is blistering away from the body off the key unit. I've already changed it for a different style that looks a lot more robust that I bought from another selling site as it wasn't available on here.

Where to start with this absolute bag of trash. I'll pre-face this by saying I've changed multiple car keys, its not my first rodeo, but this is literally the most ridiculous by far. IT DOESNT FIT!On first glance, it seems sturdy and well made, after taking my OG Vauxhall key to bits for the components I start on swapping the key blade, microchip etc for the new housing. After putting everything together again within the new housing, I notice the key doesnt fit flush in the divot and the connector is protruding from the edge of the case. It would be serviceable as a key I guess, but its very obviously a miss-match.Start youtubing to see if I can find a tutorial and to specify where I've potentially put something together wrong. Turns out you need to swap the old key blade into the new connector housing too, to make it fit flush like its supposed to. Only the groove on the key blade doesnt line up with the new connection unit hole. I'd have to FILE DOWN my car key blade to make it fit into this connection housing. As dictated by said tutorial.I'm sorry, but having to file down my car key to fit into a housing that has been SPECIFICALLY designed to replace an OG Vauxhall key? Gave up on it in the end and threw it straight into the trash. Don't waste your money!

Great value. Delivered as promised

Perfect!!! Look great
