What part will i need to transfer in order to clone this onto a working fob. I have a key which is draining battery fast and it has been checked by a key guy and am hoping he has done all this and returned it back with issue still occurring....

[@Alpejohn]

Nice! I cut open the key for my e39 (diamond key), that was pretty hard. Had to change the case as the border or seam of the housing was in poor condition. But at least it works and looks new. :-)

[@MOvidiu]

Nice work!

[@ethanfears2680]

I washed my e 90 key and I split it open on the groove with a flat head and hair dryer it for about 15-20 seconds until it was almost hot and then it worked completely fine

[@jairolopez5952]

You dried the board too.

Hi, nice video!!!, I have the same key with water damage, only transpoder works (start the car when stick to the steering column) I have another blank new key, what components should I need to swap to the blank key to avoid the key coding? Thanks!!

[@vallashtur]

Good job!

[@mikesalyer5285]

Tried it and it worked! Thank you!

[@mikesalyer5285]

It was a 2011 Prius key.

[@MOvidiu]

One question friend my car does have the CA unlock all 4doors but don’t lock with the key fob I have to but my finger at the handle to lock. What you think I should try to make it work. By the way great videos I have learned so much

[@MOvidiu]

Hello! You should start with a complete diagnose!!

[@AbhinavSharma0160]

I have similar problem. Key got washed in washing machine. However, after changing battery, it works perfect for a few days and then battery dies. Any suggestions on how to fix? I’m good with microsoldering so can try to repair. Please help with any instructions. I’m subscribed! 😊

[@MOvidiu]

Hello! for beginning you will need to open it!

[@claudiochairez8995]

Did you ever fix it?

[@saynotothegreatreset]

[@Oockeshoek]

I left mine in my pocket during a wash. However it still works

[@vichureddy7295]

[@sollykhan2385]

Thank you for an AWESOME video, very helpful ,please do more !! your cameo picture with sunglasses on makes you look like ' Tom Cruise @ out of ( Mission Impossible) very appropriate for this video

[@CalinGabriel100]

The best !!

[@michlopedia]

Hi, I have a key fob with the same situation. After I wiped the corrosion residue off, it appears the buttons are firing based on current reading but it cannot unlock the car. I’m think of using an ultrasonic bath to give a shot, any suggestions? Thank you!

[@MOvidiu]

Hello! you can try the ultrasonic bath! but there is a big chance to be compromise!

[@AubreyDegreat-rb2rh]

Thanks very very much helpfully

[@MOvidiu]

Glad it helped

[@jairolopez5952]

What if you don’t have the electro bath thingy?

[@JamieMason-h6j]

I don't know the answer, but I tried cleaning it gently by hand with an alcohol swab and it didn't work. I guess I'm about to buy an ultrasonic cleaning machine.

[@khyrofilms]

hmm it's looks like OEM knife ;) whats the part no.? ;) ;) regards ;)

[@MOvidiu]

Unfortunately the knife is discontinued no more in production :))

[@khyrofilms]

@@MOvidiu shame for factory ;) ;) ;)

[@paulsp2693]

so usually only the battery fails when water gets into the remote?

[@MOvidiu]

Hello! No. this was a rare case! usually the water destroy the components from the board.

[@lou007]

what causes low battery for the remote on the dashboard ....despite it's not?

[@MOvidiu]

Usually is the battery , even if it is ''new'' to you , it can be an old stock , or extremely rarely the remote control have a problem .

[@lou007]

The car battery? It's a bit old but no warnings yet! The key battery I measured it with multimeter shows 2.8v !!!

[@MOvidiu]

We are talking about the Key battery , and if it shows 2,8 volts is not good !! it need to have at least 3V normally 3,2...3.3!

[@lou007]

@@MOvidiu the cr2450 is only 3v 🤔 Wondering

[@mmmmmed95]

👍👍

[@karatist79]

you bin this and get a new key.. simple :)

[@MOvidiu]

Of course you can do that !

[@saynotothegreatreset]

A key like that will probably cost 200 uds , and you are recycling something

[@karatist79]

@@saynotothegreatreset but your car costs about $100 000 ... so $200 is nothing..?
