I didn't need to pop the inner bit out. My new buttons just pushed in. Very helpful video.

A tip for people like me who have just viewed the video. By the way thanks Remote Pro for the video, it was very helpful. The four plastic pins may not go easily back in. It is a very tight fit. From a previous suggestion do the following. Carefully file down the 4 pins a little. It does not need much. You can try the frame first without attaching the buttons. The frame should not be difficult to take out again. Also make sure that you have removed all bits of rubber left over from the old buttons from all parts of the frame. If you don't this may stop the rubber fitting snugly to the frame. Now attach the buttons to the frame and you should be able to push in frame and buttons for a snug fit.

Thanks you so much it would have cost me $200 to replace my key. And I was able to fix it for $2. Keep up the good work .

Great video, but for anyone that hasn't started the process yet i would recommended leaving the plastic frame with the 4 pins in. Just remove all the rubber and u can just nudge in the new rubber with a small screwdriver or a similar tool.
If you did already take out the plastic frame and cant get it back in, what i did was cut off the sides of the 4 pins. Theyre kinda mushroom shaped if u look close, so make it so it's just straight. I used a nail clipper for this. After that the frame pops in a lot easier

Quick tip for people who have got problem to push back plastic frame with 4 pins.
I tried too and no luck for me, didn't want break the pins (shape of them look like mushroom).
I used 120 grid sand paper I folded once and start working my way to round all four pins, not completely just about 70% ot it leaving a very small lip. After that I managed to push that it and rubber pad seats nicely without falling apart.

Best video I've watched, helped me changed my parents keys after I've seen people saying that you have to replace the entire casing, thank you.

Thanks for the video, worked great! It takes a lot of patience and care to get all the old rubber off of the plastic frame, including all around the outside edge. Just keep running your thin screwdriver or blade around and around the outside edge until all of the old rubber is gone. Then I pried very, very carefully, working my way around the edges until I was able to pop out the 4 pins, one at a time. (It may not be clear from the video because he doesn't show the back side of the frame for very long, but the pins are located on the cross pieces between where the buttons are -- so prying along those areas is the most effective). Thanks also to all of you who commented about your negative experiences with the pins or the frame breaking, it really emphasizes how careful you have to be when attempting to pop out that little frame.

Thanks for the guide, the other solutions were to rip apart the orginal case but for exchange of the buttons this tutrioal is great. Regards

To push the four plastic pins back in I used the top/round end of a pencil. and press down hard. Make a mental note where the pins are before reassemble. I then had to use a little electrical screwdriver to just tuck the odd bit of pad back under. I hope this helps someone out 🙂

Great video. Like a lot of people I had a real struggle getting the small frame with the fours pins back into the key fob.

Brilliant! It only took me a couple of minutes to replace the worn out buttons! Big thanks!

UK: This worked okay for me. The only thing I found was that the replacement rubber didn't fit round the lip very well, but it seems to have bedded in okay. The button rubber only cost £2.99. Do you know what the Hyundai dealership quoted me for a new key? £450.00! Many thanks.

I just replaced my pad.
some tips for others:
- this took a WHILE. like an hour because it was so difficult refit the plastic retainer. the little clips are mushroom shaped, so I filed them down into normal pegs and they fitted a bit easier. press down as hard as you can in the same place as the pegs
- put the silver frame bit in first if you have that part (I have an i10), it's too fiddly to try and hold all 3 pieces together.
- removing the plastic retainer is also difficult, mine also snapped, but it shouldn't matter. do be as careful as you can!

Thank you so much for this video. Filing down the clips did the trick 👌🏾

To remove the plastic frame, I lifted the edges around the perimeter with a small screwdriver as you said, but the clips broke. I didn’t realise the clips would break so easily.

Man you are freaking genius!! Made it simple and tanks a million.
