Key shell replacement
My key isn't in the best shape and i'm considering buying an Ebay replacement shell and just transferring the blade/electronics over.
Has anyone had experience with the ebay keys?? I hate going non-OEM but for 10 bucks...

Let us know how it goes if you decided to try one.
I think you can just transfer the laser cut key and all the electronics over. It should be a mater of checking whether it seals like the OEM one or not?

Will do, I've seen videos where a kid just took the key blade and spring out. It's super simple.

Lo and behold the Resources/Tech Articles/Misc. Topics holds the key on the one part of the subject. https://www.audiworld.com/tech/misc.html in the GA section "Flip Out Key Blade Change"
