What have you done to your car today?

I had to do this at the weekend - was putting it off as the key had been absolutely buried in superglue by the previous owner. But the battery was dire and I've not managed to program the right replacement fob yet.

Similar story that the blade was a glued/integrated one Vs the spare fob, luckily I had the blade cut for the new fob already. So just switched the electronics after some chisel and knife antics.

Not trying to be patronising but you do know the transponder chip and the electronics with the battery are separate parts?

Yup :) I didn't mention transponder as that has programmed OK. Just the central locking unit that I must have the wrong type. I ordered from AliExpress aiming to get the right blade, transponder and remote. I got 2 out of 3 right, the search continues!

Edit: Main reason for assembling an entire new key unit was a) The car has no spare and b) previous owner had glued the entire thing together and the battery was already low when I received it. A whole fresh key seemed a good idea.
