Jeep OEM 3 button plus panic button fobik key replacement shell

Fobik twist keys and fobik proximity keys both use the same type of key shells. These keys are used across the Chrysler, Dodge & Jeep branded vehicles extensively.

Here we have an OEM Jeep branded fobik replacement shell. This type of original key shell uses a small screw as shown in the photos to secure the front and back sections of the case togehter.

This replacement shell allows you to refresh the fobik key and will allow you to use the all the buttons again correctly. Swapping over the shell is not a major job but it is vital you take great care when handling the remote circuit board so as to ensure you do not cause any damage.

This type of fobik key does not have a micro-switch on the PCB. Instead there are circular metal pads on the surface of the PCB and when you press down on the rubber button the small metal contact on the back closes the gap in these PCB pads and completes the circuit to mimic a micro-switch activation.

We see lots of these PCB with sticky mess on the surface and so it is also a good idea to clean the PCB with PCB cleaner when replacing the shell.

If your original fobik key does not have the red panic button, you can still use this shell. However may wish to remove the metal contact from the back of the PANIC button if you do not wish to have the alarm go off when this button is pressed accidentally.

If you wish to bring your fobik key to our workshop in East Victoria Park in Perth we can clean the PCB and swap the shell for you. We can also test the battery and ensure everything is working as it should be on completition.

We generally charge $20 for this service.

If you need a complete fobik twist or proximity remote fobik for your vehicle we can also supply and program one at our workshop. Please call to make an appointment as programming a new key can take around 40-45 minutes.
