| If your rubber buttons are lifting - top tip | |
Hi All,
Hopefully this post will help anyone with the same issue as I had.
On one of the remote keys from my 2019 car, the rubber button section had lifted and has stretched so it would not clip back down. The rubber panel is molded to the plastic shell at various points and if they detached they break and can't be refixed. You can't glue it either.
The Land Rover dealer will only sell a complete key and they also said with the new security changes I would also need a change the other key and the body control ECU and some other ECU.. costing about £1500 which is crazy.
So I figured I would just buy a after market shell and swap the insides over. However the after market ones are different as they have solid rather than rubber buttons.
Instead I bought a 2nd hand complete original key off ebay for £38 and just put my circuit board in it.
It was really easy, you just need a T6 torx to undo the screws that attached the board to the key. Also be careful not to the the spring pop out that is behind the side
button to release the key.
I now have two perfect keys !
