When my key broke, I went to the dealer and they refused to fix it under warranty, so I bought one off of eBay and swapped all the parts around:

  • The transmitter comes out by removing the two pins with a pair of pliers. Pull straight up. To replace, just carefully put the in back in the hole and press straight down.

  • The buttons come off by using an XActo knife to pry the rubber up, or if you have removed the transmitter board, simply press from the other side. The buttons snap back in easily. This is great if your buttons have become deformed and nasty.

  • The key part is a little trickier: First, remove the logo using an Xacto. (see picture below) Then unscrew the screw. If you're lucky, the two pieces aren't glued together. If you're not lucky, you'll have to pry. Be careful though, because the spring is under tension and may fly off. If you have come this far, you should be able to put the spring, key, and button back on properly so that the key still flips out.
