    Hey John.. why do you need to replace your originals?

    Specifically! ... is it just the case that's worn to high heaven, or is there a problem with the operation?
    If the battery is dead, simple change.
    If the case is just worn to high heaven(normal for regular use vehicles of the age .. you can buy just the case for it, so the shell then becomes good as new, and you use the internals of your current one .. in the new shell.
    The key blank pulls out of the body of the old one, and insert that into the new shell too.

    Saves a ton of $s, and no need to program it again too.

    If your originals are suffering from circuit board failings .. then of course new keys make sense.

    Just an FYI.

    Replacement fob

    Yeah need to replace. Outer cases are fine, been down the polmex path 10 years ago, but both now have loose microswitches or lost micro switches. Need some new internals. Genuine are quite expensive

    Apologies if you already know all this.

    Have you considered removing and replacing the microswitches? They are easy to source online (ebay, key fob supply companies) and re-soldering them to the old circuit board is pretty straight forward.

    It seems a shame to discard the key fob circuit boards if they can be saved.

    Also, you don't then have the added hassle of registering the new keyfob(s) even though that is pretty straight forward in of its self with a Nanocom.
