Kelay 3 Buttons Car Key Fob Case Remote Control Replacements Compatible for Opel Vauxhall Buick Astra Insignia Vectra Chevrolet Cruze Aveo Spark Captiva Orlando (1 Pcs)

Needed a new 3-button key remote for my Zafira Tourer. I noticed that "Zafira" wasn't listed in the product description for this item, however, this remote is identical to my existing one, and it works very well. While some other 2-button remotes listed on Amazon did include Zafira in the description, my original key has a 3rd button for the boot and I wanted to keep that option.Fitting: After dismantling the old and new remotes, I first tried swapping the old key into the new remote housing (without removing the locking pin from the blade) but that didn't work, as the old key would not stay in the closed position. I then used a pair of locking pliers (a vice clamp would be easier) to hold the key tightly and knocked the tiny pin out, using a hammer and panel pin (small nail). I fitted my old key blade into the metal 'ring' part of the new key, tapped the pin back in, then fitted the circuit board, release button and key into the new remote housing. The key has a sping that's used to swing it open when you push down the little release button. The spring needs to be 'wound up' before closing the remote case. An easy way to do this is to hold the key in its closed position, against the side of the remote, fit the spring, then put the remote cover in place, making sure the plastic pin on the cover goes into the centre of the spring, but don't snap it shut yet. First rotate the remote cover anti-clockwise one full turn so that it winds the spring up, then snap shut. If you get it right then the key should swing open when you press the release button. If the key swings shut instead, then you wound it the wrong way. :-) Just open the cover and try again. If the key does not swing either direction then the spring did not wind correctly. Try again and make sure the remote cover 'catches' the part of the spring that protrudes, before giving the cover one full turn anti-clockwise (i.e. same direction that the key opens).

My daughter’s fiancé’s car key was well beyond its serviceable life. The buttons were now holes, covered with grotty insulation tape.I ordered this Kelay replacement fob to move the original board and gubbins into. The quality of the Kelay fob is excellent, closely matching that of the original Vauxhall fob. The shiny bits are real metal, not chrome over plastic as I’ve seen in the passed. Would I recommend this item? Absolutely yes.For anyone who has never replaced a car fob, here’s hopefully a couple of helpful pointers. Firstly, in a lot of cases (definitely Vauxhall), your original fob will have been ‘high frequency’ welded together. This means you will not be able to just pop it apart and take the circuit board out, you will need to carefully cut around the seams to open it. It’s quite difficult and you definitely need to watch your fingers. Just take your time. Check out YouTube for some helpful videos. The great news is that the Kelay fob just pops open and clicks back together. Secondly, you’ll need to drift out the very small ‘roll pin’ that holds your physical entrance key to the old fob. I use a panel pin nail for this. Do the same with your new fob and fit your old key to it and tap the ‘roll pin’ back in. Good luck and just take your time. Remember, it’s cheaper than a £200 replacement Dealer key.

OK FOR WHAT I PAYED, NOT THE STUDIEST BUT IT WILL DO FOR MY SPARE

I purchased the 3 button key fob to replace the fob for my Insignia. The first issue was the extremely poor product packaging, nothing more than a little baggie with a sticker on the front.Then I noticed the screw included and thought this was strange because my original key didn't have this. Luckily it wouldn't have interfered with the little board inside the key anyway.The reason I have rated this product so low is because of the fact that the blade of the key did not function properly. It would not lock into the closed position with my original blade. I tried several times and there was no way it was going to work.Only when I returned the blank blade included would it function properly. I personally couldn't get by like that, it would simply irk me every time I had to get into my car and start it, I can live with my original fob wrapped up with tape to keep the buttons from falling out before I could live with that issue with the blade.

Delivered today, replaced in 5mins!!! Works with my Vauxhall Insignia 2015. Saved £150 if not original, and £300 is original.

Not a perfect fit but with a few alterations it does the job

Tricky to change the blade over from old key to new, once I got a someone at Thompson’s to hammer the pin for the new key blade on to the old key my original key was too long so I had to use parts of the old key button so now the spring doesn’t.workWasn’t a total let down as the casing is fine and I have a nice new key for (with no spring)

Easy fitted
