Minimalist Key Fob Case

Just gotta open the cases and move over the transponder chip (and guts)....you can do it by touch.

 

What makes me worry is the transponder chip is glued in so you pretty much have to destroy the key to get it out.

Hopefully someone has some tips to make it easier like using a heat gun or solvent or something.

 

I think Meso made a video

 

The circled part is what I'm wondering about. The guts is super easy.

 

Yeah, but with his timeline we won't get it till some random Tuesday in March.

 

Got Cement for my Silver Sky... Will extra buttons be available? I would like red for the panic button.

 

Mine looks glued in.

 

x2 Love to see some contrast on the black fob. Gray or red buttons or even both would be great. Definitely would like the red panic button.

 

yeah we're gonna need to dig that out

here's the AJT video on it

I have not checked my original OEM key but the (2) aftermarket replacements I later picked up I can easy remove the transponder...just has some 3mlike sticky on it. That's what I plan to volunteer as tribute.

 

Hoping the same, I got the black but looking for some contrast later also.

 

HERES A VIDEO I JUST PUT TOGETHER. It will be posted on the website soon. PLEASE WATCH before you attempt the install!

What's the thought on just getting a bare transponder?

Would it work?

 

The TS programming process I used needed a key to turn but you could just use a plain key and tape the transponder to the side of it. You would need the key in the ignition and the transponder very close buy but I don't see why that would not work.

 

Shibby! That is my plan. Get it cut then program using TS.


So before ordering, that an H chip is solid?

 

Yes. You can get cheap spare keys for $8-10 and just rip the transponders out

 

Thanks!

I didn't notice the vehicle search on that site. It is confirmed for the 3rd Gen.

 

These are the ones I got (just pulled this link from my order history): https://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement-Key-for-13-15-Toyota-Rav4-14-16-Prius-C-V-Remote-Fob-H-Chip-HYQ12BEL/222903480826?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Edit: I am sure you can find them cheaper but these worked for me

 

Thanks! I ordered up that chip. We'll see as it seems to be a bit of an interesting site.

 

im a bit confused, why is it that you needed to order another transponder chip? do you not want to take it out of your original key or is your original one broken?
