Skoda 2 button flip key replacement shell

This style of flip key was used with some early Skoda models.

Please note this is the older 2 part flip key type. There is a very similar looking flip key used on later models which does not split into 2 parts like this one. Please check the front of your flip key to see if it has the split line next to the boot button.

You will also notice that LED lens is next to the Lock button on this older type of key, whereas on the newer version the LED lens is at the top near the key blade.

We know it can be very frustrating when the button pad on your key crumbles and so it is difficult to press the button to lock or unlock the car. You don't need to worry or think that you must replace your entire remote.

Here we offer you a top quality replacement remote case so that you can transfer your remote circuit board into this new case and re-attach it to your key part.

Button symbols on this case are - LOCK - UNLOCK on the front and a plain back. The case also included the metal end to which you attach your key ring.

The part is made by JMA who are one of the leading makers of keys and key parts in the world. Based in Spain they make high quality replacement key shells and cases that work well and fit well with the original OEM parts.

To separate the remote part from the key part, make sure the key is extended. In the slot where the key folds into you will see a join. Place a flat blade screw driver here and twist. The remote part should now slide out of the flip key section.

Now if you look at the end that was inside the key part you will see the join line. Again carefully place a small to medium flat blade screw driver in this join and twist. This will lift the button pad off the rest of the remote.

Once in 2 pieces you will need to lift the VW logo on your old key and underneath you will see the screw that holds the key end together. Remove this to open up this part and you will see a small glass tube type transponder chip. This needs to be very carefully transferred into the new flip key part so that the car will start. 

It is always a good idea to test the battery as you have the remote open anyway. This can be done using a multi-meter if you have one. 

The change over is pretty easy to do yourself or come into our shop in East Victoria Park and we will swap them over for you, test the battery, clean the circuit board, cut the new key blade and check that the transmitter is functioning correctly afterwards.

Please note we do charge a fee for this service of $50.
