The old key fob will have you cursingโฆ
What people donโt tell you about is how difficult it is to separate your old key fobs! That was a challenge in itself the first one took me a good hour and a half and lots of choice words. Once I figured out the first one, then the second one was a breeze. The proper tools are definitely going to be needed to separate your old one.. I needed new batteries and then everything worked great! This will save you a ton of money if you have the patience to work on it yourself.

Hidden Complications
The product itself is absolutely fine. It's a good quality shell/cover for minimal cost. The problem lies with the old key fob. Getting it apart can be challenging, and you need to be careful so you don't damage the inside components. Cars in general, and even different production runs of a year/model, can be assembled differently, which makes it impossible to provide buyers with instructions that cover all possibilities for transferring the innards of the old fob to the new fob. In my case, the old fob had the ignition transponder glued into a recess in the corner of the fob and it was all too easy to ignore. Most You Tube videos did not address the transponder. So I moved all the other components from old fob to new fob, then tested the buttons and they all worked. But when I tried to start the car, it wouldn't start. I finally learned that when you try to start the car, a part in the ignition sends a message to the transponder in the key fob, and if the transponder is missing or broken, your car won't start. In my situation, the transponder in one of my old fobs was loose, so I was able to find it in the bottom of my trash can and insert it in the new fob, and the car started. Unfortunately the other transponder was soundly glued and, in the process of removing it, I must have damaged it, and it will not start the car. So now I have just one working key. The dealer could program a new transponder, but won't sell me just a transponder. They can only sell me a complete new fob for $500. I'm in the process of checking with automotive locksmiths, and also looking for a used fob from a junkyard.

Good value, exactly what I needed.
It shipped really quickly and came nicely packaged. I watched a quick YouTube video on the process and within about 10 minutes I fixed a problem thag plagued me for years ๐ The hardest part was getting my old fob open because it was so old, but once that was done it was super easy to put in the pieces and snap it all together. Like others have said, the new hinge button doesnt fit but swapping the old one over works just fine. Overall I highly recommend!

Looks nice but not very durable
The metal part that holds the key blade in has a little pin that you have to remove to swap the included blank with your already cut key; normally a thumbtack or sim key or something of similar size will pop that pin out without much effort so you can swap the blade. The metal on these (while very shiny) is very inferior quality compared to OEM fob. Basically its like the pin is welded in there and virtually impossible to remove without breaking the head that holds the blade, thus rendering it completely worthless. If your fob is still functioning but just needs new buttons, I would suggest ordering the replacement keypad rather than entire fob shell.

Perfect for my 2013 Kia Soul
The ONLY issue i had was closing the the new shell after assembly. It worked perfectly and my old key fit inside this shell as well, and the new uncut key will be saved until i need a new one cut. The old transponder fit perfectly and had no issues with the item itself, whatsoever. Notes: - If your old key fob says "KIA" on it, it is the factory fob and may have a tiny black chip that you will need to move to the new shell. - If your old fob has a tiny screw on the back, save the screw just in case, my new one didn't need it but better safe than sorry. - Make sure your transponder is working before assembling new fob. If your transponder doesn't work, then you need to buy a working one from the dealer or locksmith or you wont be able to start your car. - Make sure you WIND UP the key-spring ONCE or it wont pop out when you press the button to eject the key. FYI, i am no mechanic but I have experience with keyfobs and circuit boards.

Not a direct replacement for my 2011 Kia Soul key FOB
My original 2011 Kia Soul FOB transmitter assy (AM11MY), SEKS-AM11ATx, P/N 95430-2K250/486607-3000, FCC ID NY0SEKSAM11ATX. According to this new item description, they should have been a replacement for my original FOB. However I was unable to use them to replace my FOB. I really only needed a new key, because the key insert housing in my original FOB cracked and no longer retained the cut insert. My hope was to just replace the new blank key insert with original cut key insert from the original FOB key, however the retaining pin hole in the new key housing did not line up with the pin groove in the original cut insert so the retaining pin would not fit. Further, the key blanks that came with the new FOBs were unable to be cut to match the original key because the two grooves down the length of either side of the new FOB blank did not match the location of the grooves in the original key. The last issue I had with the new FOBs was that they did not sufficiently retain the circuit boards removed from the original FOBs making the reassembly of the FOB pieces very difficult as the circuit board kept popping out of location and getting in the way. On the good side, the FOB plastic housing was nicely made and the pieces fit together snugly. So if the new FOB key blank matches your original key, and/or the new FOB housing can sufficiently retain your original FOB circuit board for an easier assembly, then maybe this new FOB could be a good replacement for you. But I could not use these FOBs to fix my key issue, so I cannot recommend them to anyone who has the same original key FOB P/N as I do.

Great product!! Doesn't look like it opens up but it does.
This is a shell replacement. If your mother board is damaged then this will not work for you. When you open up or break open the old key fob watch for two very small peices a black and a white one. Make sure you put the little black peice and white chip back in the top corner where the flashing light is. That is your chip!! Your car will start but not stay running without these :) open the old key fob in a zip lock bag to contain all the little peices (we thought those peices were broken from the old fob. But they were the main chip haha) i also had to use my old button as the button that was included was not long enough to sit through the fob. I asked for a refund cause it didn't look like you could open the new one up. My dad figured it out :) I just sent a message to cancel the refund and return. Thanks so much saved alot of money!!! This was for a 2013 Kia rio :) old keyfob had busted buttons missing buttons. 10 years old and the original!!

Worked like a charm
This case is exactly like the original I got with the car. I replace my old Kia Rio 2013 with this case, from which the buttons were ripped because of the use. Opening the original case was not so easy though, but at the end I succeed to do it following a youtube video. Highly recommended.

Good price
Too difficult to rebuild but if you take off the rubber buttons off the new key and soak it in carb cleaner for one second and pop them onto the old keys they work fine. Make sure you press them very quickly and hard and the rubbers locked unlock buttons cover will stay on

As described
The fobs were as described and work well, however some kind of instructions or link for a video would have been nice to have. I did find a video someone had done for similar covers that did help. I have the ability to change them no problem, but the original ones are bonded together and have to be destroyed to get them apart. I know the old ones are going in the trash, but not knowing they are glued together makes it challenging to figure out. Otherwise seems Iike a great product
