Flip Key Fob Conversion, Is It That Simple?

[DANH-IS200]

Hey guys, I'm forever sitting on my car key in back pocket and I'm sure I'm gonna break it one day, I was thinking of getting a flip type of eBay and putting the guts of one of mine in and getting the blade cut . looking @ one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lexus-IS200-GS300-LS400-RX300-3-Button-CONVERSION-Flip-Remote-Key-Fob-Case-/180912829346?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Safety_Security&hash=item2a1f3eb3a2 Has anyone done this, and is it as simple as getting a blade cut and using the internals of one of my 3 button keys?

yes guys

bought this few months back

straight fwd just have the blade cut and put in our existing transponder and you have yourself a brand new key fob.

then again it's not a good idea when you sitting on it as the flip out button can be easily press and ended damaged it

Had one for 6 months. Blade cost £7 to cut, swapped over internals and been using it ever since. Flip button is a little sensitive and can easily be flipped in your pocket, but on the whole it's been fine. Bit too bulky for my liking, so I'm on the lookout for a better alternative (ideally something the same shape and size as an Audi or Kia flip key, and then see if the buttons can be cloned)

Had mine now for over 3 years and still going strong, i did over wind the spring on the blade to make it spring out faster and stronger as i thought it was a bit on the limp side lol...

As said above, a bit on the bulky side but nothing you dont get used to, but their not the best in build quality i'd give them a 6-7 out of 10 for build quality but 10 out of 10 for style and praticality...

But i'd get another one if this one ever gives up the ghost and dies...
