WOW THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! My flip-out key from my 2016 Impala broke. I took it to the dealership and they cut the key according to the correct code but it didn't work in the ignition switch. They cut a new one and the second one didn't work. They determined that the ignition switch may have been changed before (I bought it with 16,000 miles in 2016) and was probably the reason the laser cut didn't work. They didn't charge me anything since they really didn't repair anything. So, in looking up videos on what I could do next, I stumbled upon your DIY video! And my wife has a spare remote but now I know why her blade key doesn't work - way back in 2016 they made us a copy but it didn't cut right from what I gather now. ANYWAY, I followed your detailed instructions, I was able to remove her blade from her FOB, replace it with the working blade and VOILÁ!, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Went out and tested it worked! AND no more twisting the blade with my finger, OUCH! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

I used the tool to easily remove the pins, yet unfortunately the included hammer couldn’t generate enough needed striking force to reinsert them, so I used the Good-ole trusty regular hammer to get the job done.

You don't need to program the key if u take the chip out of the old key and put it in the new key. The chip will be a small hard piece of plastic probably with text written on it (bit thicker than a credit card and a bit bigger than 1cm by 0 .5cm). It will be inside the plastic part of the key, at the end near the key. You can test this by holding the old key plastic part near the ignition when u start the car with the new key. If u take away the old key plastic part the car wont start. Once u find the chip, u can test it by holding it near the ignition and starting the car with the new key.

Thx for the vid. So I moved my blade to a new fob (to skip laser cutting). But in the other video I see you using multiple keys to program. Can I just insert the (old key/new fob) combo in and expect it to program the circuit board of the new fob?
@acidr86 жыл бұрын
Figured it out. Remove the blade, then do the programming routine but don't pin the blade to the new fob yet. It's easy to just swap fobs as you turn the car on/off with old fob, then new fob using the same blade. Once the new fob is programmed, then you can pin the old blade to the new fob. No laser cutting necessary. (If your old fob's buttons were just really worn out like mine) PS. For my GMC Terrain, turning the ignition was not necessary to program. Just initial key turn, 10 sec, then new fob key turn, 10 sec, then ignition.

@@CS3Automotive I ended up breaking the pin and it fell out in 2 pieces. But it's all good. My key ended up being a little thicker for the hole and it jammed in there real tight. I used a little metal glue and its working great. Thanks.

cant we just swap the metal hardware from the old fob?

Give it a try. Just takes minutes to tap a roll pin out and swap the key blade.

I've done it that way twice. PITA. Then found this video. This way is FAR easier. Just get a roll pin punch. Whole set on Amazon for $12.

I would get another pin. Try your local hardware store, they should have all kinds of pins to replace yours.

Why haven't they made a better fob that this won't break, should have a recall, both of mine have broke on 2016 Equinox.
