Folding Flip Replacement Key Fob Cover Case fit for 2010 2012 2011 2014 Chevy Cruze Malibu Camaro Equinox Equinox Sonic Terrain Keyless Entry Key Fob Shell

This a good value, and works fine, but you will either need to have the new key blade cut at a dealer, or you'll need to replace the blade with your old one. The parts that make up the pivot that the blade swings on are slightly different. I saw a review on here that recommended using a pick to drive out the roll pin to swap the key blade. DO NOT USE A PICK. A pick is tapered like a wedge and when you try to drive the pin out it will very likely break the cast metal pivot. I ordered 2 of these fobs and destroyed the first one this way. I found that an 18 gauge brad (nail) was the perfect size. A brad is also tapered on the end, so I clipped the tip off with a pair of wire cutters and filed it flat on the end. A light tap from a small hammer easily popped the roll pin out of both the original key and the replacement. Lay the pivot/blade assembly on a block of wood with a hole drilled in it so the roll pin is over the hole. Drive the pin out with the modified brad held with a pair of needle nose plyers and it will drop right in the hole instead of flying off somewhere. Off to order a replacement fob for the one that was destroyed by trying the pick method

I swapped out the circuit boards and keyblades from two busted keyfobs into this shell. The first one was incredibly frustrating. I wasn't aware of the screw and prying it open was incredibly difficult. Also pulling pushing out the key pin and back in is a pain. 2nd keyfob was much easier thoughtSteps to open it1) peel off sticker above logo indent, unscrew nail2) pop out battery compartment3) pop out the key blade so it's sticking out, using needle nose pliers (or a similar tool) wedge it into the gap you'll see on the key and pry it open. (don't worry about breaking anything, it'll be fine)Also make sure to twist the spring/keyblades counter clockwise when putting the cover back on, or else the button won't work properly. Several videos in YouTube show how to do this if you Google Chevy keyfob replacement

It’s an okay cover if you need something asap but not for long term. Parts don’t fit with old cover parts so everything needed to be replaced and was unnecessarily hard to assemble. I watched YouTube videos of other people replacing their covers and they replaced parts with ease but this cover made it extremely difficult. And to top it off my key does not even flip open, I have to force it out myself every time. Double checked to make sure everything fit correctly and it did, don’t know why key doesn’t flip open. Recommend finding one on eBay or directly from chevy.

Microscheme is not included; Buttons are little bit rough, whole thing is not solid; After 1 week of use whole thing came apart; Easily i put back in but while turning the key i have to grab hand fully around the key in order for key not to come apart;

Case fits great.Mine required me to unpin the blank key and my original and swap them.Mine also required filing down the end that gets pinned in so it would fit.Took about 1 hour to swap prob 30-40 minutes were to do with modifying the original key to fit. My car is a 2016 cruze (1st Gen, yes they made them that year).

My original key had completely fallen apart- the button covers had all fallen off, and the key itself finally broke out of the elbow that holds it.This replacement fob/key worked out exactly as I had hoped. The original key bar for right into the new elbow, after figuring out a way to hammer out the roll pin. It is made so close in design to the original that it all fit together beautifully. The only trouble I really had was breaking open the original key's shell. Once I swapped over the board, it all went together as it should. The spring open feature still works as well.It took about 30 minutes to do, all told, and it saved me about $200. I would absolutely buy one again.

This key was a great replacement for our 2012 Camaro original key fob that's rubber buttons had worn off. We did not have a new key blade cut, we were able to put our cut key into this new key fob. We wanted to use the new flip part on the new fob so that it worked properly so we tapped the pin out of the new uncut blade with a paper clip and put our old cut blade into the new flip part, very easy to do. The blade was a tiny, tiny bit too long to get the pin back in so we just filed it down with a nail file a little bit. Trickiest part is putting it all back together when you move the old electronic guts from the old fob to the new fob. There is some twisting involved with the spring to get the flip mechanism to work. Watch a few Youtube videos, they help greatly. Helped to have 2 sets of hands, a mom and 17 year old did this. Bottom line, this is a super cheap fix and worth the time to try it yourself!

I replaced my 13 sonic key fob, I used my my own circuit board and used my key. I did have to take the pin out of the roller to use my key. Works perfect. There are YouTube videos that show you how to do it. The hardest part was to separate my old fob
