Default Replace Alarm / Keyless Remote Buttons

A new Autozone opened up a town over so I went with my neighbor to grab some random stuff. On the way out at the register I saw a kit that would replace not only the buttons , but the body of the "chevy" keyless&alarm remote.


So for $13 I went for it because my buttons were beat. I attached some pics. Only thing that didnt work was the plastic body that it came with. The chip that goes inside was too big. It looks possible with "lite" dremel work, but I didnt wanna fuss with it.Got new buttons out of the whole sha-bang, Im happy.

The whole lot

Old buttons and new case that didnt fit

End Result

Cool. My buttons are all worn off, I might have to do this. Was it hard swapping over the buttons?

No it was easy as pie. Open the original case (pry the slot by the bottom of the case where the key ring hole is). Remove buttons and reinstall new buttons. Snap the case back together.. did it at the dinner table with a butter knife

cheers

you can get just the buttons on ebay for super cheap, and people are selling whole remotes for $$10-15.

Was more of an impulse buy. Not a huge fan of Ebay either
