So i have a nissan key fob which the plastic for the key ring broke a bit and it doesn't have a hole on either side or enough thickness to drill a tiny hole for the wire. What would you suggest in my situation? Don't really like that I can't have my fob on the keyring along with my keys....
Anyone i have read about said the dealer wanted a lot more than $100. More like $300-350. Here in Canada a locksmith gave me a quote of roughly $190 plus tax to make a new key and program it. The other option given me was to buy a shell online for about $15 and that he would charge $10 to cut the blank key of the shell to match. You have to transfer the button module over and CAREFULLY cut the transponder out of the broken FOB to transfer it. It was for a family member, if my own, yeah i probably would try the glue method. Meanwhile he cut a blank key for me and said some choose to just glue the FOB to it. I just hung it on a keyring. Then hold the FOB along with the key to start the car. I was hoping having it just hang was close enough but NOPE car would not start. I read online that most transponders have about a 7" range. Just had to hold the FOB for 2-4 seconds beside the key after starting until communication took place. This wasn't a broken eyelet, it had broken the housing.
Well just a trip to the shed for some jb weld fixed it.
Great work whats this substance name

What is that wire called
It's called "tie wire" in the construction world Tiffany, because it's used in the building industry to tie things together. it's usually available in different thicknesses (gauges) at a hardware store. I think that was about 18 gauge, but it doesn't really matter. Picture wire would work, or even a little piece of copper electrical wire with the plastic insulation removes. The objective is simply to have something you can bend to shape that will provide core strength for the putty to adhere to.
MY dealer wanted to charge me $250 for the keybfob and $250 for installation.
Two-year battery life? Family member has a 2010 Toyota and the battery has never been changed.
Thanks dude you saved me a ton of money
Nice!
Johnny Joe has a better idea
