Replacement Folding Keyless Entry Remote Control Key Fob Case For Chevrolet Camaro Cruze Chevy Equinox Sonic Terrain Key Fob No Chip

Fits perfectly, look like a bought a new car!

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

c'était exactement ce dont j'avais besoin

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!

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.

The button on my original Chevy Cruze key fob fell out, so I bought this shell replacement the hopes that I could simply swap over the guts and the key itself and have a new working key. The first issue I experienced was difficulty removing the circuit boards from the original Chevrolet key. The factory Chevrolet key is sealed shut and needed to be carefully cut open with Dremel tool. This of course is not a problem with the replacement keyshell, but it could be an issue for people who are uncomfortable using a Dremel to cut the original key apart. The second issue I had was in trying to transfer the original key blade from the factory Chevrolet key to the replacement fob. This was to avoid a trip to a locksmith and the cost associated with having the replacement key blade cut to fit the car. Some people had described being able to push the pin out of the original cut key, and transfer it over to the replacement fob. I tried to push the pin out on the replacement key before fooling with my factory key, but didn't have any luck. Instead I elected to move the entire key from the original Chevrolet fob into the replacement fob. With a little finesse, I was able to get the original key into the replacement fob, but I couldn't get the key to stay folded in the case. Instead it sticks out straight all the time and when I try to fold it in it simply pops back out. I think this is due to the fact that the replacement fob is not notched slightly differently from the factory key. So I do have a working electronic remote, but I can't keep the key folded. I suppose that's not too bad of a compromise given the low cost of this replacement shell, but if you're looking for a replacement that functions exactly like the original key this may not work for you.
