Hi everyone.

I've read the central locking sticky and done a search but I've not turned up the info that I'm looking for.

Basically, I'll considering one of these remote locking kits (http://www.rclick.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=50&products_id=671). I've found the transponder in the factory key, but I can't get the little fella out. Is there a trick to removing it without damaging it?

Cheers.

its a glass capsule bonded in place! if its your only key dont risk it
a better bet would be to buy new transponders and get an auto locksmith to program them

That sounds like a much better idea. Thanks.
