DIY Repair Kit - compatible for Vauxhall Renault Nissan 2 button remote key refurbishment

I had a broken unlock button on my fob, so I purchased this kit. It was brilliant. I de-soldered the broken button and soldered on the new button, then reassembled the fob in the new case. It took me about 15 minutes in total. The new button was a perfect fit. It's like a brand new key! I see that some people on here are a bit negative because they don't understand that if a button is broken then you need to use a soldering iron. I didn't have one so I borrowed one. If you glue or sellotape the bits together then it will work for a while, and then it will fail again - it has to be soldered to be a permanent fix. Sometimes when you get a replacement part like this you might need to use a knife to gently trim back the circuit mounting points, if they are a bit too snug. Yeah, this happens, it's no big deal, it's common when replacing parts to sometimes have to make a slight adjustment. If this kind of thing is frightening or going to trigger you, then give this item to a mate and ask them to fix it for you instead! ;)

Worked Well

Case buttons a bit stiff but overall very pleased. Used to rebuild a pair of Vauxhall van keys that had literally deteriorated to the point of being unusable. The supplied replacement switches seemed genuine OEM quality and worked perfectly. Not sure what the people giving bad reviews for these switches are saying complaining they are hard to fit - what do people expect? it's an SMD solder repair job, get someone competent to do it!

Great fit for renault trafic 06. As per the other review here, there's no need to solder the complete new buttons on, unless of course the complete button console has snapped off the circuit board. If your outer black plastic button has broke, simply replace the plastic unit. If your inner white push buttons have also disassembled themselves, as mine did, simply take the white push button section off the supplied new button units by lifting one pressed metal edge with the tip of a wood drill bit/a fine blade or similar. Be careful to catch the silver flat contact as it falls out (This silver flat contact will only work one way round - so be sure to put it back the right way round, or youll have to dissassemble it all again). Put it all onto your old soldered button unit the same way you got it off by pressing the steel back into place. A touch fiddly as already stated by another, but easily done in 20-30 mins. Recommend.

For a renault trafic, i had file the pcb down to fit in the case, and cut out 1 of the rubber bumpers inside. Not the end of the world but risky business as i only have 1 key for the van, and if i slipped filing it it could have been wrecked. Once fitted it is reasonable quality though. So 3 stars.

Repaired the 2keys that were non working to like brand new..... excellent product...MK2 movano/master

Blade and electronics fitted well, although was a bit stiffer to get the electronics in. Has more of a plastic feel than the original including the buttons, so will have to see how long it lasts. But all the after market ones look the same, so probably all from the same place. But it is much cheaper than getting an origonal so can't complain. Update: Been using these for a year and a half and not sign of wear.

If you have a2006/07 vivaro do not buy this. As you can see from my photo the key casing is a completely different shape and it will not fit. The key casing with blade inserted is what I bought here. The casing without the blade is my old key! I did try to make it fit as i was desperate and I ended up breaking the new casing so I can't even return it. Absolute waste of money and I wish I had read the reviews before buying. I don't know why amazon keep allowing these to be sold on the premise of them fitting model years 1-14.
