Fleabay Flip to key to flip key swap, Super easy

About a year ago, I bought cheap flip key from fleabay.
The good - our OEM door remote PCBA drops into fleabay flip key. Obviously the key needs cut and registered. The bad: it's cheap and it broke.

Fast forward to new key arrival an hour ago that replaces broken flip key which won't stay open or flip open and it's fugly.

So, I bought the delux $21 model which feels solid but it has trunk button. It needs a Yoda emblem and all would be well.

Here is the fun part, if you push out the roll pin, the keys blade swaps to the newer body, push in the roll pin and you're set. While the remote is open, snag the G-code chip for the ignition and walla, most of the work is done! No ignition key cutting or registration! Reassemble the body and program the door remote. This feels like a solid remote assembly compared to the other.



I tried using the Yoda key in/key out, door open/door closed trick to register the remote but the truck wanted nothing to do with that. So I fired up Techstream and registered the door remote.

Bad news though, I bought two of these and only one would talk to the truck. Techstream diagnostics sees output from the bum remote but it won't register it.
I don't honestly need it, so I didn't spend much time after that. Truck shows 3 of 4 keys registered, the light on the remote works for both buttons... Didn't check battery health (came installed already)...

So, for $21 we are up and running again.

If I recall, it cost me $70'ish to register last key. From now on, I'll pay for cutting if need be.
