pretty cool my dude. I was worrying about the transponder being too far back and the car won't start cause it cannot read the transponder. I'll do it once my key breaks. 🤣🤣🤣 Others suggested that if the car won't start, you might want to relocate the transponder inside the chip (the part you move from old key to new one, open it up and de-solder it and attach 2 thin wires to extend it outside next to the metal key). This put things into perspective that it can be done without the hassle of relocating the transponder. Cool video!
Hope it helps and explains that you don't really need to move the transponder around to make it to work. Just order the new key fob shell and switch to the new one... The hassle is to modify the original metal key. But if you are comfortable with tools and files, it shouldn't be a problem. take your time and in no time you have a brand new flip key. :-)
@@lavithhcm cool cool. Even if it gives problem later on with the transponder, i'm well prepared with desoldering and moving it as well. Just happy that I don't have to once i decide to do it. Have a blessed day my brother. Much appreciated 👍
@@mecpello787 hey buddy, I didn't do the modification. I was commenting in case my fob case is broken and i would know which case to avoid buying. In your case, have you try putting the old key with its transponder chip close to the ignition? Or try taping the transponder chip outside of the case in a closest position to the ignition?
@@CCG0D I tried. The car start when I tap it putting close the just the fob.. Close to the ignition switch. I have to figure out how extend the signal.🤔
The cutting of your key is fine. What it is is that your new key may be too thick all around. You might try and check the diameter all around first. I did this key mod about 10 years ago for my 2010 Honda Accord Exl V6.
Your AC clutch has a fault barring,it is located on the right side of engine,where the power steering and altenator are,it is the bottom one,if you want a can share video from the youtube on how to do it?
Do you know if there are any protective covers for these aftermarket keys? I bought one of these flip keys shells and haven’t found silicone covers or related.
for transponder you would probably open up the key fob and move the transponder outside the key fob to get closer. But as you can see I didn't even have to do anything to the original key fob. I just replace the shell outside. Best of luck and let me know how it works out for you.
if you still have the original fob without any modification to it, it should perfectly work with this housing.... The problem is you need to fully insert original key inside the key starter for it to read the chip with this housing. I recommend rewatching this video where I mark the line where the original key meet the plastic. This is the line where I can only insert that much into the new housing. If you insert all the way, you effectively shorten your key. Thus, not fully insert into key hole starter!. hope that explains why your key chip doesn't work!
@lavithhcm so do I have to re cut the key and make it shorter, sounds dumb lol but I inserted the key fully and still won't read chip. I'm going to re watch video. Thank you for responding
@@lavithhcmYou cut the original key that's why, I had the key that's on the flip fob cut already and it fits into the ignition. The original is shorter so I might just cut original key
@@Grinchsmilez1214 all i can say "good luck" ❗️ take your time watching and re-watching the video to fully understand what i did to the original key. Once, you file/mod your original key, you cannot go back.
Thanks but no thanks, you can get the same type of cover as the The original which makes it a lot easier than all these hoops you gotta jump through for this upgrade
My #DIY key mod/fix is still going strong. And it looks way cooler than original key. Also, feel safe not scratching my phone screen inside pants pocket. Best decision I made to mod the original key. Cheers!
Great video my man. You had to modify it and you did a great job ending up with the desired result!!
Yeah thanks! I appreciate it.

@@CCG0D Hi Tera Fun I have the same problem,my car doesn't start, transponder is to far. You have a video to modify the chip?

"hi5, namaste" nice video buddy:-*
Your AC clutch has a fault barring,it is located on the right side of engine,where the power steering and altenator are,it is the bottom one,if you want a can share video from the youtube on how to do it?
Wondering how you know if my AC clutch has a fault bearing? Does it sound like bad bearing when I start a car? I always though a bad starter. Thanks
@@lavithhcm yes,i hear it by sound,i had the same problem,when you change it you will hear there is no more "whining"sound of an engine,✌️☺️
Do you know if there are any protective covers for these aftermarket keys? I bought one of these flip keys shells and haven’t found silicone covers or related.
you can ask the seller see what they say. I have not seen any silicone cover for these key shells either. Maybe i wasnt looking hard enough for it.
My car won't start after that probably because the transponder or chip" far away but idk how fix it
for transponder you would probably open up the key fob and move the transponder outside the key fob to get closer. But as you can see I didn't even have to do anything to the original key fob. I just replace the shell outside. Best of luck and let me know how it works out for you.
Have the same problem.. looks fob is slightly far
Same here did anyone find a fix to it?
I have the same issue did you get it fixed ?
I had the same issue, key is too thick. I had a locksmith do it but now the chip doesn't read the key. I'm stuck

I am not afraid to admit that mine worked by realising I had to remove the ‘harmful if swallowed’ sticker! Yes, yes I did guys 😅
as long as it works. 👍

Yes but they're also cheap and break in a few months.

😂 I have 3 keys for my civic and they all have tape on them
:-) for few bucks and lots of elbow grease you can remove the tape s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_97O22x
