How to change the key blade?

[mrmonk21]

I've just brought a new remote flip key fob off ebay with a separate blank key blade.

I've taken the key apart and now I'm left with the old key blade which is connected to the flip mechanism.

How do i get the old key blade out and the new key blade in?


Cheers

If you switch the blade out a bit than you see that it is connected by a small pin. Push that through and the blade comes apart. After you have the new key cut you use the same pin to secure it again in the fob.

Mind you, you can program the central locking but not the immobiliser! There are plenty threads on this subject though.

I've done that its all good, just went to programe the key but the instructions I got are not working.

I put the new key in the ignition turnt the car ON and left it in there

I then locked the drivers door with the second key

It then told me to press the unlock button on the remote once and the horn will sound once, I done that but nothing happened.

Some one please help me!!
