    Am I missing something or are you not swapping the actual key? Dont you need to swap the metal key as well?

    • @trollmanrs
      @trollmanrs  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi, the metal part comes with the new flip key, you have to get that cut using your existing key as a template. So no you don't swap it. Hope that helps.

      2 Q 4 U:
      1) why is your key tip black?
      2) when you copy the original key to the new fob’s key any tips?

    Mmmmm you say you are converting your Disco 2 key to a Disco 3 flip key. The flip key you are using in this video only has two buttons that are staggered to match the Disco 2 button position. A genuine Disco 3 flip key has three buttons that are in a straight line. A Disco 2 circuit board will not line up. A Range Rover flip fob has two buttons but they are orientated the wrong way around to match up with a Disco 2 circuit board.
    Can you confirm which new flip key fob you are actually using.

      Hi,
      No I said I was converting to a flip key LIKE you get on a Disco 3. It's a different case becuase like you said there are only 2 buttons on a D2. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching.
