Did the lock and unlock buttons work??

I’m Not an expert but isn’t there a screw attached behind the Chevy symbol that is required to be taken out for the key to pulled apart this is how you don’t break the fob?

Thanks, this was perfect! Appreciate you sharing.

How do you program it? What if you have remote start?

Worst part is trying to get the spring tension securely while trying to put in together 😡

2:00 you need to remove the bow tie and unscrew the screw

hey are u alive

LOL, im glad it's not static sensitive! Carpet and electronics normally dont mix.

Thank you for this video! I'm going to bookmark this so when the new key fob I bought will help.

You saved me $200!!! Thank you, it worked. 🎉

These things are engineered this way to be hard to open on purpose. Even the air filter box in my car has star torq screws to deter people from changing the filter themselves. Capitalism at it's finest...

6 yrs later. Thnx

Destroyed both key fobs trying to get them open this way. I hope whoever designed these things at GM got fired.

Thank you so much for showing me this!!!!!!!!!!!

Next time don't work on a rug when dealing with electrical components. Static/friction will mess your circuits up. Aside from that very useful tutorial vid!

It’s 2024 and my lock button on my 2013 Cruze fob just broke!🤦🏻‍♀️ Thank you kind Sir for doing the Lords work!🙏🫡🔥👏

My 2015 Vauxhall Astra which has almost the same type of key fob did the same thing a few months ago so I had renew it most be a General Motors poor quality thing my previous car was a vw which I owned for 12y and apart from a few scratches both key fobs were ok

Good video bro, u helped me thanks

Professional work good sir

ty for this video. was these being sold on amazon and was weary because i couldnt find any videos of how it worked. this gave me confidence to order it and stop dealing with this broken unlock button (hopefully)

We're you ever able to get the key to fold and stay down? If so, how did you do it? I need to replace mine as well

To make it work correctly you must also switch the machined key, meaning you have to knock the small drift pin out of both metal keys and put the original key into the new chrome swing lock mechanism and reinstall the pin. If you don't do the last steep, the key will not stay closed in your pocket. The new parts in the swing lock mechanism are clocked differently and sized differently so no matter how you try to interchange the mechanical mechanism it does not reassemble and work. You must switch the actual metal key with the chrome swing or hinge mechanism. You need a hammer, long nose pliers and either a #53 or #52 drill bit that you will be breaking and using the shaft of as a drift punch. Drive the pin out using the hammer and drill bit with the shaft of the bit against the pin. When putting the pin back in, hold it with the long nose pliers and drive it in with the hammer. So when all is done, you use the circuit board and the machined key portion of the Original key fob, everything else is the new parts. Other then that, it's perfect! Everything else in the video is super clear. EDIT: Thank You for this video!

Thanks man! Way easier to switch circuitry than program a new fob for my silverado when my old fob works fine it just looks shabby.

needed this, had to use my pinky to click the buttons 😂

Good one. No fluff either.

i stg my shit got super glue or something, im having the hardest time getting it open 😂

Thanks 🎉🎉❤

I just did mine, could't swap the key, there's a slight difference between the oem and the blank and I didn't feel like going to a locksmith. However, as someone else mentionned, by removing the tiny pin that holds the key blade using a finishing nail, needle nose pliers and a hammer, I was able to swap key blades 12$ for a "new" key fob is awesome

Does anyone has the issues of not being able to lock/unlock the car after replacing the new shell? Car do start perfectly tho😢 please leave a comment if you have any idea what happen?

For those that didnt notice in the video, it came with a screw and the gm emblem, on the oem remove the emblem and you will be able to unscrew it open

Do we use the new key circuit board or replace it with old key circuit board ? Please clarify.

Thanx for making❤

Thanks! This is very helpful.

some Krazy glue or gorilla glue applied along the clamshell contour/crack and a vise clamped tight tor 24 hours is a great way to reseal the fob, provided all your parts in 100 % working order.

They key didn't stay shut and this is the issue I am having swapping over a new key fob.

There’s a screw behind the Chevy symbol !!

Just got to 1:37 and he says “cause I don’t know what I’m doing”. Should I keep watching and destroy my only keys? The guy is using a butter knife, wtf.

GREAT

I lost my keys Ugh

On my 3rd set of crap key fobs. Tried this method too and the replacement had a different design internals for the key flip.

The fob is suppose to flip open with the spring and click shut.. You did the same thing i did.. IT wont stay closed now... thats the problem im trying to figure out

5 years later and this video is a Godsend! My fob fell apart and I bought my car used and it only had one key. 🙄 Thank you for this video!!!

This kinda works but also kinda doesn't. These fobs weren't really meant to be pryed apart. Maybe you'll have better luck than me but I've done this on 2 separate occasions and both times they went back together but were kinda marred and busted up feeling.

Hey Brandon, buddy boy, did it work to start your Chevy vehicle? I am about to switch two key fobs in bad shape into two brand new key fobs, so I am watching lots of videos like yours. The ending would be perfect if you started your vehicle with the new key fob. I am going to guess it worked. Thanks for the humor and the instructions. I am also scared to do it, to be honest, since I am programming this for someone else's vehicle, okay, it's my husband's vehicle. He borrowed my Jeep and when I saw how bad his key fobs were, I decided to program two new ones for him. Thanks so much! Wish me luck, I think I can , I think I can! Yes I can. LOL - This saves everyone a ton of money- some pay over $350.00 for a new fob, because they need a new mother board, and then someone has to but a new key, and they charge big bucks for it all. You did a good job!

Dated October 6th 2022, @ 2:01 . The Key FOB was a bitch to take apart, however; the small gap opening between the key and the folder. used a Needle nose plier closed first-> insert -> try and open that did the trick to release the casing and the motherboard. it Help on the fix!! Thanks !

👍👍👍

Thanks you make it easy to understand and know how to do it

I am having trouble getting the roll pin back in the hole. Can't get a good grip on pin with needle nose pliers it keeps slipping. Any suggestions...also tried tweezers.

did the fob end up working, unlocking and locking the car?

This was a cool video but my 2014 SS fob had no screw and did not just pull apart i had to actually break it very carefully which was a hassle
