Horande 5 Buttons Replacement Key Fob Cover Case fit for Chevy Malibu Cruze Camaro Volt Equinox Sonic Keyless Entry Key Fob Shell OHT01060512

Little bit of a pain to transfer circuit board from old fob to new, but works perfectly. Buttons work perfectly, I do not use the flip out key, have a separate key from the fob.

I bought this key fob for my 2014 chevy cruze since the oem one was missing every button but the alarm. Swapping over the internals of the keys is a bit tough. The most difficult part is definitely disassembling the OEM fob. You cant really get it apart without destroying it. Swapping the chip and battery over was easy. You need a small punch or pin to drive out the roll pin the retains the actual ignition key. It can be hard to find something small enough to push the pin out but strong enough to put a fair amount of pressure on. I used a tiny allen wrench and it was really easy. At the end of the swap you have to install a spring for the key to flip out but you have to spin the top half of the key fob to give the spring some tension. It take a few tries to spin the fob half, retain the spring and button, and click the two halves together but I got it. The key works amazing and its held up for a few months now and I feel like it will last quite a while. Great value for the cost.

Had this for less than a year and it started coming apart, finally broke where blade is attached. Would look for a better quality one. Not happy with this one at all…..

Recently the buttons on the shells of both original key fobs (Fob#1 and Fob#2) for my 2010 Equinox began to fail. I purchased one of these shells (Shell#1) and rebuilt Fob#1 by installing Fob#1’s chip and key in Shell#1. I am completely satisfied with the rebuilt Fob#1. I then purchased another one of these shells (Shell#2) and rebuilt Fob#2 by installing Fob#2’s chip and key in Shell#2. I am completely satisfied with the rebuilt Fob#2.I am rating this product 4 stars because in both rebuilds, the original key assembly (circular key gear with attached key) did not work correctly in the new shell. Specifically, the keys would not latch in the closed position. I fixed this problem in both fob rebuilds as follows: 1) use a 1/16” roll pin punch to remove the roll pin from the original key assembly; 2) use the same punch to remove the roll pin from the new key assembly and save this new roll pin; 3) insert the original key into the new circular key gear, and attach using the new roll pin saved from the previous step; 4) discard the original circular key gear and the new blank key.As noted by others, I discovered that the springs in my original key fobs are of better quality than those included with this product. So I rebuilt both fobs using the original springs.

I'm going to start out by saying the actual install went well. But GM should be ashamed of themselves as hard as they tried to make the original keyfob non-serviceable. And they wonder why there's an aftermarket. 🙄This thing was extremely easy to put together once I got the factory atrocity apart. All you'll need is some pliers to pry it apart and a small pin, needle, nail, etc to extract your key from the GM swivel mount and place it on the aftermarket one. Take your time and you'll be fine.I've seen some reviews on here saying that the car no longer starta after changing to these housings. The housing has nothing to do with that. Here are a couple things to remember in relation to retaining usability:1. Take your time. If you don't at least have an hour available to start this project, don't do it. If your OEM keyfob is like mine, it's gonna be stuck together hardcore. I had to slowly cut apart my original until I exposed the bottom half of the circuit board. Then I went around the perimeter of the housing slowly with a hot blade until it popped in half.2. If your key will not start your car after you complete this process, don't blame these people. Either you did something wrong or your circuit board was failing.3. Do not test start without complete assembly. If the key is not directly beside the circuit board and in the ignition, it will not start. Believe me, I saw a one star review and explored the possibilities.All and all, an excellent product. Weighs less that the factory due to it's standard "hollow" design. Saves you hundreds over the inflated prices the dealer will probably charge you for their garbage.One last note. Since the bowties on the originals fall off with any real use, these are cheap enough to buy just for a replacement bowtie if thats all you need.

Overview:As Described, kind of...Experience:I don't give 5 star reviews unless totally wowed and product exceeds expectations.That being said, this is far from perfect. Not so easy to remove the old PCB from old remote. Note: Original cut key will not work in fob (Key release assembly are slightly different, would require modification of detents and cut outs on release button and back plate). Opening the fob the spring and release button become unsprang lol....Trying to get the spring and button and everything lined up again on reassembly is like a dyslexic version of the old game Operation. And once done you will still end up having to use the new blank key cut.Recommendation:Is saving $10 worth an hour of your time?I would recommend getting a new "complete" key fob since you will need to get the key cut anyways. Programing a fob to your car is a simple do it your self thing, just check out some YouTube videos for help. Much easier than spending an hour messing around getting this to work.
