I have had a dodgy key for ages and I finally got round to trying to find a YouTube with a good tutorial and woo hoo. My key now flips up 😀

Just had a search and found your video - I have a mokka fob where the spring is staring to go. This video was clear for a novice like me to follow so may now by the replacement fob as the key and circuit board are okay - thanks for this Bill

Perfect. Just what I was looking for. Thanks Chief.

Hi. Can you please let me know what type of screw i need to hold the keys fob together (its very small but unsure where to get it) as never came with the replacement keyfob. Thanks in advance

Good to know. Very similar mechanism on my wife's Mazda 6 by the look of it.

Hi, thanks for the video, but I have a question.
after assembling the new cover is it necessary to reprogram the key or does it not lose its memory?

I saw another video for a Hyundai key and they said something about a chip having to be cut out otherwise the car won’t start. No such issues with insignias then?

Well, very amusing, the old key had to be cut in several places to finally remove the circuit board - probably easy when the key is not very old - the re-tensing the spring was not realistic on the videos since it was not done with the key in - still better than nothing
