Key Fob

The wife left the key fob on a hot hob!
I got a new key fob and luckily the circuit board was intact so swapped to the new fob and changed the blade but unfortunately the glass transponder didn't fair so well.
can I buy a new transponder? and then code the key to the car?

Ive done quite a lot of research for this over the years..

If the circuit board is fine..indeed its a straight swap to an empty shell Key Fob.

The transponder chip I believe is called an ID48 and is near enough cheap as chips to buy on Ebay. Fiver circa.

Its needs to be programmed obviously. There is a way to do this if you have one perfectly functioning key (spare) by placing 1 key in ignition and 1 in drivers door. Not sure which way around.

Otherwise, you need it to be reprogrammed by a specialist as Soot1 said.

Hope it goes well for you mate...do let us (or me) know what you do, as i have an empty Key Fob which needs all this done as my motor only came with one key.
