yeah you have to solder its not a direct swap. You have to desolder the transponder chip thing from the circuit board and solder 2 wires to the circuit board and then solder the 2 wires to the chip.

I suck at giving diy steps, but if you have any questions I will answer them and describe it to you guys the best that I can. I am not responsible for any thing that goes wrong on any other peoples keys.

The key doesnt wobble when its closed but when you flip it open it wobbles a little bit its not something that bothers me though since its very little movement.

I desolder the 2 sides and took tweezers and very carefully pulled off the transponder. You might have to give it some force to pull it off since the transponder is also glued on.

Manutd · 03-04-2008, 02:24 PM

ok but what 2 wires did you solder?

mhuynh · 03-04-2008, 03:30 PM

you have to remove the transponder from the circuit board which requires the addition of two wires.

***GETxERxDONE*** · 03-04-2008, 03:42 PM

ok..question..why do you have to remove it? does it not fit and hyou have to relocate it?

mhuynh · 03-04-2008, 05:40 PM

The transponder has to be in a certain perimeter from the immobolizer. With the ebay key, the transponder sits too far away so it has to be moved.

***GETxERxDONE*** · 03-04-2008, 05:51 PM

ooo ok thx
