  • This video is made to help you. We'll show you how to repair your own key, but be warned. The transponder chip is normally glued well into the key. On this video is comes out unusually easily, so don't be fooled.
    We fix these every day and we believe you can fix your own if you have the correct tools and a good case.
    Here is an Amazon link that will show you the case and pin punch that we use at our shop for all our local customers
    Click to Buy the case and pin tool amzn.to/2MLIQpw
    Click to Buy the key opening tool amzn.to/2ZvvSzl
    Click to Buy the CR2032 batteries amzn.to/2LF0HOB
    Or, to buy direct from us,visit our Car Key repair shop thecarkeyman.co.uk/car-key-shop/
    **WARNING** If you break the chip, the car will not start, so only attempt this if you have a spare, or you are really brave. We use a soldering iron to melt the plastic, so please be careful if you do this. A hot soldering iron touching the bone after slipping with it, really hurts....
    If you would like us to fix your key by post, follow the link to find out more..

    If you have an American Rio, you may not have a chip in the key.
    Good luck!

      You're welcome. These keys have been designed and manufactured so poorly, it's not right that you should have to get a new key. We always try and re-use the electronics when we can. Glad it helped

    I thank you sir, I ordered a new fob body, completely destroyed the old fob getting the board out. put everything in the new body. doors would lock and unlock, but car would not start! I ended up buying a new fob from the dealer and having him program it! $ 400 later...I watch your video a few years later, there it was, didn't realize that little chip was inside, thought it was on the circuit board. I changer the body on the 2nd fob, as buttons were worn out, and it all works! Thankyou!! God bless!

    Thanks a lot car key man! I didn't have all the tools you've had at your disposal, but I was nevertheless able to change my two keys having watched your video at least 3 times. Very clear step by step explanation and very clear video. Saved me something like 250€ each (in France) + reprogramming (labor expenses). Net estimated gain: 550€ for the two keys.

    Wow this saved me a fortune. The pliers is such a good trick to crack it open, it was impossile otherwise. I was following a different video that didn't mention moving the transponder/immobilizer so that was fun not knowing why my car wouldnt start! Saw your video and transferred it over, lucky I hadn't thrown the old fobs out! Works a treat now, thank you so much!

  • @furryface47
    @furryface47 Před 5 lety +3

    The buttons on my remote for the car were chipped off because I made the mistake of using my thumbnail to push the buttons. I went to the dealer figuring all they had to do was replace the case. but they said they would have to order in a new remote and then program it to match the car. They gave me a quote of several hundred dollars!!! Insane! I took a look on CZcams and found this video and then found a dealer on eBay selling the case. I followed the instructions in the video except for one small change. I didn't have a soldering iron hot enough to melt the plastic to remove the transponder so I used a rotary sanding disk and gently sanded the plastic on the back of the old case until I could see the back of the transponder and then just pushed it out.
    Your video and step by step instructions were excellent and easy to follow. I would not have been able to do it without this video. Thank you!! The only difference was my case and the new one didn't have a screw as described at the end of the video, the case just snapped together.

    Mate, thank you so much for this video! The pin fell out ages ago (found a quick fix), then the hinge broke (as a result of the quick fix). Called up Hyundai and a replacement key was going to cost AUD$400+, then I went and bought the case kit and had a go myself. Had to file down my old blade a bit but then I was able to knock the pin in, and now it works! Legend! 🙌🏻 Fingers crosses it holds up!

    Thank you!!! This video helped me replace my 2011 Kia Soul case. The key broke just like in the video and the dealer wanted $400 Candian for a new key! I initially glued the key back in with Gorilla glue until I realized I could purchase just the empty shell. I purchased one for $2.99 USD from China off ebay and was unsure if it would ever arrive, but once it did I searched and found this amazing video!!! The hardest part was opening the original KIA case. I think my key was actually a solid mold, so I had to heat the plastic and cut it open! The 2nd hardest part was removing the pin for the key. I actually had to take it to a Jeweller, who had to heat the metal to get the pin out. He put my old key in, and replaced the pin with a new one for $5. I was so thrilled when I put everything together and it worked!! I was afraid I might have damaged the circuit board when I was trying to cut the case open, but everything works like a charm! THANK YOU for making this video and putting it out there.

    Thanks very much, this worked for me.
    I have a 2008 i30 cw (wagon) in Australia.
    The key had broken exactly where the one in the video had broken.
    I got the new key case from ebay for a few dollars.
    The transponder chip just fell out and had a small plastic clip holding it in. No glue, no soldering iron.
    I still had to file down the groove, that was the scary bit.
    There wasn't a video of removing the pin, which was also tricky, but I found a nail the right size and I was gentle with it.
    Had to practice a bit to get it all back together, but watched it a few times and it eventually worked.

    • @TheCarKeyMan

    Thanks for the great video! I really appreciate you sharing your know-how. As a note to others, not all keys appear to have the transponder chip. The key for my 2012 Soul didn't. I transferred the electronics, key blade, mount, and spring from the old, broken shell to the new, $7 shell and it all worked perfectly.

    • @TheCarKeyMan

    This video was really really helpful. I changed the case of my Kia Cee'd SW 2010 key, everything exactly as shown in this video, except that the transmitter came out easily without need for soldering iron. The replacement (from AliExpress) fitted well, except for the key groove which needed filing as explained in this video. Original key didn't have a screw; replacement key had a screw; presumably to stop it falling apart. Thanks again.

    Thanks a lot for this tutorial! Just successfully fixed my key, the deepening of the groove was mildly annoying with my dremel but it ended well. My carkey has been falling apart for years, rubber top completely crumbled out and such, but some days ago I opened my key and the keyblade shot out from the holder akin to what Call of Duty games sell people as "ballistic knives" haha

    Nice video. Didn't see this before I replaced mine. I ended up using my Dremel to take apart the plastic part. It worked but I really should have just been a little more forceful when pushing to get the top and bottom apart. Was afraid I would break the electronics. But, after all, it worked.

    Thank you, very useful instructions. In my key the keypad was damaged - don't press the buttons with long nails! I had to use a lot of force to open the original key - the parts seemed to be glued together and the chip wasn't glued on at all so I nearly lost it when the parts scattered all over the room when it finally popped open. But the rest was easy as the chip didn't have to be cut out.

    • @TheCarKeyMan
      @TheCarKeyMan  Před 7 lety

      Hi Vicky, yes the case is normally glued and can take alot to open it, did you manage to use the pliers that we use? It's funny but you can never tell which chip are going to be glued in and which aren't

  • @nomadnomad9517
    @nomadnomad9517 Před 5 lety +1

    I sure wish my keys came apart as easily as yours did in this video! :) Fortunately, my keys didn't have the transponder chip, so I didn't have to deal with that part, but Kia glued these things to within an inch of their life. I ended up using a Dremel tool (that's a brand name here in the states for a hand-held rotary tool; they may call them something else over there in the UK) to very carefully saw the shell apart along the seams a millimeter at a time.
    Once I got it apart, though, putting it back together was no trouble, thanks to this video, aside from the usual problems of trying to hold spring-loaded parts together in the right position while you snap the shell back together. :)

    • @TheCarKeyMan

  • @l8ur1e
    @l8ur1e Před 2 lety +2

    This video, and the other one on the later type of key are both excellent.
    I have found with my wife's i30, earlier type, that after a lot of use, the rubber button pad gets very worn, so badly that there were holes in it. So I bought a spare shell for about $10, thinking I would replace the shell entirely. However, I found that the rubber pad was not glued in to the spare, and could be very easily got out with a toothpick. Then I removed the residue of the broken one, again with a toothpick. I cleaned off the slight amount of glue residue on surfaces inside the shell that the pad sticks to with isopropyl alcohol. Then I fitted the new rubber pad, using a tiny, tiny amount of Loctite gasket sealer as the adhesive. It's as good as new now. If this is the only problem with the old key, it's a much better solution to do this rather than replace the whole shell.
    I wouldn't have had the confidence to do this though if I hadn't studied these videos first.

      Hi Rory, Yes the original keys are glued together. That's good that the chip just fell out. I'm not sure why some of the US cars don't have a chip when the Canadian models do. Seems strange to me. All of the UK cars have chips these days!

    For the most part this video is very useful however just a tip for most of the people trying to change instead of burning a whole through the original key to get the transponder off either use a heat gun to melt the glue and a flat screw driver if it's really stubborn or if you like me and just the plastics on the front for the lock and unlock is torn and broken just replace the front of the key and keep the original back intact saves it alot of time..
