Review on πŸ”‘ KeylessOption Keyless Entry Flip Key Shell Case for Kia - Uncut Blank Blade Fob Cover by Dana Schmidt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for interior decoration

Let me start by saying that I have no patience at all. It was a bad start for me. After watching a lot, I mean a lot of videos about this repair, replacing the fog lights on my 2011 Kia Soul, I was a bit skeptical about the task. The part that took me a long time was separating the plastic standoff from the electronics board, which I later found out wasn't necessary, but by the time I was done it was too late. This foggy key wasn't exactly the same as the OEM inside because the electronic circuit board was just laying on it and moving around, but once you've closed it it looks like it's going to stay solid. Because I was angry and frustrated that I couldn't close it evenly, both sizes together, I just squeezed tight, got angry and it closed. I pushed the buttons and heard the sound of my car. The second problem was that the key didn't turn, so I didn't care, well! I do! I've just taken it apart and put it back in place, but this time I turn the spring counterclockwise again before closing and it works great. The car starts. Apparently my Kia doesn't use the chip, which was fine with me at the time. Time will tell if the electronic board just stays in place. The buttons feel like they need to be pressed firmly, but apparently the feel is different as the plastic on my other controller was broken. I'm happy and it works. I'll buy another one for my other controller.
