The button configuration looks the same so I'd imagine the chipset inside is the same too.

As said, I bet it's doable.

Having just refurbed 4 of the 3 button flip keyfobs myself, these things are not that technical once apart, you just have to be brave. Discovery 4 HSE

i have seen the smaller fobs on ebay as a 'shell only' sale so i suppose its feasible to transfer the insides. ... - .- -.

Whilst I recognise the 2010 key is a bit big and heavy, it at least has presence, and you know if it's not there, whereas I've always thought the newer one looks cheaper and plastic compared. Discovery 4 HSE

you're not the only one that likes to have something big and bulky in their hand but these smaller ones look attractive i think.. ... - .- -.

I have changed one of the large one's over to a new (big) case, I can confirm its really is a case of taking your time and being brave - the small one does look smaller and that's a good thing so I will watch this thread with interest but as I still have a spare (big) key case at home unused at the mo I will prob not initiate.

Incidentally the LR genuine shells are really cheap about £6 from memory, what are the eBay one's coming in at? 2016 (L405) Autobiography in Black with Ivory - for ULEZ
2014 (L405) VSE in Black with Ivory
2011 (L322) VSE in Black with Ivory
2005 (3.2 V6) Porsche Cayenne in Black with Savanna
1999 (P38) VSE in Burgundy (?) with Sand

a quick browse yesterday came up with around £10 upwards but i dont think they were genuine ones though.. ... - .- -.

I might buy some used keys and do one to test it. I already do a 3 button fob refurb service so this could add an additional service.

As it would contravene forum rules I won't post either service here don't worry, I'll continue to use eBay for that. Discovery 4 HSE
