upgrade key fob?

Wasn't sure if this belonged in electronics or general... so Mods feel free to move.

 

Is it possible to upgrade the really rather rubbish key fob (which is the same as a Quashqai!) to a flip-type or at least a nicer looking key? Or is it a case of just ignore it and deal with it! :D

There is a thread in here about this topic.

 

It really isn't that difficult, you can buy a flip key case and blank blade off eBay, transfer the circuit board and transponder chip, get the blank blade cut to match your key and job done.

 

Took me a couple of hours, including getting the blade cut, the hardest bit was getting the spring loaded key back into the shell.

 

A few folks reported having trouble getting the blade cut accurately but it worked first time for me, visit a really good locksmith and you should be OK.
