    Default Flip key

    Anyone know the current price for a 3 button flip key ?

    Just phoned the local main dealer and got quoted £140 per key

    Sounds about £90 over the top

    If the circuit board can be salvaged then a shell can be in your hands for about £12 off ebay but you need to get the blade re-cut then install your own pcb battery and connector

    Not if it's a non flip key (which the OP said it was). You can use the same blade (as you have to detach it to open the clamshell) and just swap over the PCB into the new clamshell.

    You were right about the PCB. You have to use the existing one from the old fob and transplant it into the replacement clamshell. Maybe I didn't explain it properly.

    Found a place that does the 3 button remote flip keys for £65

    Another firm will code it for £25

    £90 for a key is a joke

    The man above sells new flip keys cut to your key number and is £45 all in. I went onto his page and he is away at the moment but plenty people have been happy with his service on here.
