I think I know the answer to this but just looking for confirmation...
The flip-out remote key fob for my Altea has stopped unlocking, it still locks OK though the little light on the fob no longer does anything. The central locking button on the centre console and all other car based functions still work fine, so I assume the problem lies with the key?
Changed the battery, but no difference.
I think therefore there's probably something wrong with the remote circuitry within the fob?
I’m thinking of getting a replacement fob off FleaBay and here’s the question – if I split my existing key in to the flip-out blade end and remote buttons, I should be able to put the existing blade end on to the new remote element. Re-programme the remote and it should work? Yes?
No having to remove transponders etc?
Does that sound about right? Any help appreciated.
