Flip Folding Remote Car Key Fob Cover Case Shell for Camaro Cruze Equinox Sonic Terrain 5 Button HU100 Blade

It replaced a fob with a broken key. The flip out portion of the old fob broke. It takes a small amount of mechanical aptitude to drive the roll pin out of the new flip out part and place the original key in its place and drive the pin back in. Break open the old fob case with a screwdriver and move the circuit board and battery to the new case. Remember to wind the key/spring once and assemble the new case. Works great. By the way, a new fob/key costs over $70. This replacement and a little work saved over $60.

My remote start button popped out and I was bummed until I found this great replacement here on Amazon. This replacement key flob case is absolutely GREAT! However, if you don't want to pay extra to get the new key blade cut by a locksmith, you CAN swap just the blade over to the new hinge assembly. Even though they look alike, the release pin is slightly smaller and the old assembly wouldn't work in the new flob case for me. Doing an easy online search, I found an instructional video that was very helpful. Take your time and follow the instructions and you'll save yourself a ton of money.

Not a bad replacement. Easy to install if you're getting the key recut. Took me all of 5 minutes to replace the mother board. Installing my old key blade is a different story. The push button doesn't line up all that well and the new one doesn't seem to line up with the old key. Using my file now to see if it'll work.

The product came as advertised but when it came to switching everything over it did not work. My old case was glued and. I had to cut it in half to get the board out. Once out it went together well but it was a job getting the board out. The original key does not fit the case so you are forced to use theirs. Bottom line when it was all put together my car would not unlock but would lock and remote start. Open the door the alarm goes off. I now need to tow to a lock Smith and have a new remote programed. I should have purchased the complete unit had a new key cut and did the self programing. I can not do that now because I do not have a working key fob.

I had a lot of issues trying to get the physical key part of this to work. Upon inspection the blank key 'pivot assembly' on this replacement fob is slightly different then the factory key fob of my 2014 Equinox. Which resulted in this replacement fob being unable to latch closed and flip open when button was depressed. I tried taking the set pin out of the blank new fob which holds in the actual key blade part to that pivot assembly but I don't have tool necessary hammer out the set pin, and swap out the blank key blade on this new fob with the original key blade from my old fob. As such, I just had to put the original physical key, pivot point and all, into this new fob. It results in me not being able to use the silver button to pop out the key, the key basically stays open. The easy part, the electronics work perfectly and swapping the circuit board over was easy as can be, and the buttons all feel very nice. I would have given this 5 stars if i could have gotten the physical key part to work perfectly.

This shell was an exact replacement for my Cruze fob. The hardest part was disassembling my old fob as the original one is glued together and had to break into pieces to get it apart. Once I was able to open the old fob up and get the board and original blade, assembling the new one was easy. You will have to switch your original blade into the new fob but easy to do, just tap a small pin out, switch and put pin in new hinge. You can watch a quick youtube video for reference but not hard to do. The new fob feels and looks just like original one did when it was new. Happy with it and saved quite a bit of money compared to going to the dealer.

I bought a pair of these to replace some completely destroyed GM key fobs for my wife’s 2010 Chevy Equinox. After much research online, I had determined what was involved to complete the swap of electronics, and what I’d be getting. The GM key fobs are literally glued together, making disassembly a complete pain and completely destroyed original key fobs. But once you have them apart, the electronics swap is very simple. From both fobs, I removed the pin from the key blade and simply swapped the OE key blade onto the new fob unit’s rotating blade mount. Upon re-assembly, I noticed that the new fob cases’s switchblade spring was not strong enough to fully open and lock the key with the push of the key button. So I just swapped in the springs from the OE fobs and it worked as it originally did. The Chevy emblem included was thin and cheap and you can tell it’s not the best quality, but looks good from 12+ inches away. All in all though, a great buy! It functions as it should (with 1 modification), looks great, feels like a new key, and difficulty to complete the job was 100% as expected.

The directions needed to be a bit clearer. My husbands fingers were too big to do the part with the spring. I jumped in and had it done in a few minutes. I did watch a video on here and it was more helpful than the enclosed directions. Overall a good product for a replacement fob.

I transferred the pc board from the original working fob into this empty case. The most difficult part was getting the pc board out of the original fob. A knife, slotted screwdriver and chisel were unsuccessful. In the end I used a coping saw with a 17 TPI (teeth per inch) blade because it was thin enough to cut into the groove of the two halves of the original fob. A very shallow cut is required otherwise you cut into the pc board. After doing the shallow cut, I pried apart the two halves of the original fob and removed the pc board. It fits well into the new empty fob casing and has a small hole that fits into a stabilizing pin. It was tricky to close up the fob because the blade mechanism has to be spring loaded and during that process the pc board often slipped out of place. There are many videos on this on the internet and I won't try to explain the spring loading. Once it was reassembled, I removed the roll pin of the uncut blade and replaced it with the original blade. I used a very thin brass punch to knock out the pin. Be careful not to lose it, it is very small. I used the pin from the replacement fob to fit the old blade. Not the pin that was part of the old blade - they looked different. In order to get the pin to start going into the groove of the old blade, I had to file away a very small bit of the start of the groove on the original blade because the new pin was just a tiny bit too big to get into the hole and secure the blade. I had the old blade clamped in a vice and once the pin was going into the groove, I stopped using the punch, removed the fob and blade from the vice and used a pair of pliers to gently press the rest of the pin into the groove. The whole process took 30 minutes in my shop (I lost the pin twice so a big magnet is very useful). But if you are not handy or don't have the tools , it may be better to pay a locksmith to do it for you. The key worked flawlessly although the buttons are stiffer to push than on the original fob. No programming was required because the electronics are the original one that was still working. If your original key fob has one or more buttons not working, this is NOT the product you need. This is only for those key fobs that are still working but have physical damage like broken blade spring or broken plastic cover. In the end this was only one tenth of the price the Canadian dealer wanted for a new key.

This product doesn’t work well because it’s the wrong size, it looks the exact same as mine in the photo but now that I’ve put it on it doesn’t allow the key to close. Also on the trunk button on the inside there is a little black piece that fell off so I was hoping the new key fob pieces would have worked so I can use that button again but it doesn’t.

i had to remove pin from old key then remove pin from the blank key it all worked out in the end. took me a long time to see.

My OEM key buttons were all worn out and falling apart. I swapped out the motherboard and flip key into this one. After watching a couple Youtube videos to figure it out, it worked perfectly! I could hardly tell it was a duplicate

Exactly as advertised. My only complaint is that when putting it together with my old car battery and key, after inserting everything and setting it all up, the spring mechanism that holds the button is somehow not correct.It could be my own fault, as this was a fairly difficult assembly…but I can’t seem to get it to sit right. So it works well, other than the front and back piece of the fob don’t sit perfect, which makes the button to release my key not work. I manage to get by, by having the key just always out and the two sides never really close. It’s difficult to explain, but basically the button doesn’t work and the key sits open while the fob is sort of not fully snapped together. Rather annoying every time I use it.
