Can the key be removed and put back into the transmitter?

Yes but it takes a little work with a punch and occasionally some filing I found

The shell can be taken apart to change the insides (as long as you know how to put the flipping mechanism back together), or you can have a locksmith change out the keyblade. Thank you!

Pry your old one apart with a small flat screwdriver or some other suitable non-sharp tool. I used a butter knife. It can be hard to open these things, so your new one should arrive already opened and ready for you to slip your old circuit board into it. Some people mentioned reprogramming in their product reviews but this listing should be just an empty key fob (no chip, no circuit board, no transmitter) for you to put your existing circuit board/transmitter inside. Read my product review for more details.

Yes. You need the current key to be able to re-key the lock so as long as you have that and the smartkey tool you can re-key the lock.

The keys cannot be reassigned via the keyboard. Maybe there is some software available that will remap.

Hi, this does not require a key to be left in it. You will retain both keys after programming the unit.

This itme is just a Empty key shell with uncut blade, you need to cut it in your local locksmith, take the internal electronics (include immobilizer/transponder chip) from original remote and place them to our key shell, then it is OK! There's no programming needed

Nope. Key is locked in place when in ON position. Even tried pulling it out & it stays in-place.

I can't imagine that happening unless you lose the key. At that point, I suppose you'd have to have someone cut if off. I've had one for over 20 year and never had a problem. However, I suppose the same thing that makes it so effective is what would make it so much a problem if you lose the key.

You should be able to if it's just a simple key without too many embellishments. The item itself it kinda stiff so it would make it a little less malleable.Good luck

It can be put back. I restored mine, but it does have a hare (hair?) trigger. Try not to carry it on your keychain. That was my mistake.

No, the front panel comes off the key, but the key itself it encased within plastic to the back of the key. You'll want to take your old key battery and electronics, move it to the new key and will need to cut it. Check your model of car, but you will likely need to cut out the engine disable chip from the old key. I used a combination or razor, pliers, and a bit of fine sand paper, but it basically destroys the original to get it out of there.

Yes, you can. You should be able to replace the key head and screw the key into the shell

Yes, Unscrew plate (small screw right of opening knob) key slot behind plate.

Yes. The lock retracts whenever you use a keypad, car transmitter whatever. Just as long as you don't lock it manually.

No that is not true, mine is locked and my key is in my hand right now. You just have to turn it all the way over and the key can be removed.

I don't know if you can get replacement keys I would try to contact mfg. It might be cheaper to cut cable off and get a new one
