Hi Folks,

I have just upgraded my key fob to the new slimmer one. Its pretty easy and means no more loose rubber. Thought I'd share the steps. As much as I love my chunkier key, I was getting fed up of replacing the £8 rubber bits every 6 months or so. Hope this helps and gives you something to do this weekend

Step 1:
Use a pry tool to take out the PCB from the old key - pretty easy and covered lots on the forum

This looks cool - thanks for posting!

Does it mean you lose the physical key that hides inside?

the emergency key fits inside the silver/metal bit,

No you dont lose it, the physical key also sits in there like the previous one did. Mine sits in the spare key so not in the pictures. Can post a pic if it helps Current:

Great instructions, for those a bit lazy ( like myself) for 21 stg you can buy the whole key , pcb included and reprogram with IID TOOL, only takes about 2 mins  2015 4.4 AB

Im mulling over buying the IID tool too.. especially after the control arms change my suspension needs calibrater (one corner sitting an inch or 2 low)

Didnt realise you could get one for £21. The genuine ones go for over £60.

Still better than paying someone £50 to do it. The whole point of the forum is to contribute and help other folk rather than make money off them. Current:

If you watch Powerfull UK's video on Youtube he simply pairs a new key to the car without stripping anything down. He describes it as an aftermarket key as well.

WOW - these things have shot up in price, when I bought mine last year it was only £6.90 with the Range Rover embossing on. They can still be had for a fiver without the embossing.

I upgraded my spare key aswell.. is it right that the blade just sits in place rather than held in place like the fat one? Current:

Not sure about the key being held in place.

There is a kit for £14.50 that Dan@duckworth supplies which replaces the soft rubber bits with hard plastic. Did mine as I like the feel of something substantial in my pants pocket. Cheers

You will find it cheaper from your local RR dealer. I bought them for £6.

I was sick of the rubber failing every six months although I did like the chunky key.. these ones are much durable. Current:
