Your review looks hell easier than the other one 'draggin az' did. But did you have to remove and refit the transponder to the new fob?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Black-FLI...item27c41f53d8 Says 2 button, but I've used it and it has the other buttons, It can be 2, 3 or 4 button.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FLIP-Fold...item3363e5dea0 I'm pretty sure this fits our 3 button.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-Remot...item5d350e01b1 Is the cheapest, I bought it. The holes for the buttons needed enlarging and the rubber cover on the buttons needed gluing

I also tried this one. It is not compatible. The Problem is the key shank is too thick and is incorrect. It doesn't have the shaved thinner part along the shank. You can get replacement shanks that are suitable.

Where do you get the correct shanks from?
Thanks Len

I didn't buy a compatible blank. I used a copied key and cut and filed it to fit. However, I did see spare blanks on ebay. I have no experience about which one is correct.

at your own risk, the following may be the compatible blank

I have included photo of the 3 flip keys I have tried
The pair on the left I decided to not use long term due to feeling bit sloppy flip mechanism. I am currently using the key second from the right. The key furthest on the right has the incompatible shank. I may use the copied key next to it to make a compatible flip key. Or I may try an ebay blank.

Doh! I just ordered that. Now gotta look for a suitable blank. Can anyone confirm which one definitely works so I don't order a wrong one?
