jamesyj Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 I don't see why it wouldn't work? The only missing link is the transponder but if that can cope with being an extra 1cm away (max by the looks of it) then it should work like normal. All the gubbins fit together perfectly well. With that eBay one, you get new buttons too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone is welcome to do a guide. I'll take some proper photies on Saturday morning when it's all working nicely (famous last words)!. Technically you could glue the transponder to the ignition barrel, not ideal from a security point of view though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I might just buy one now for the hell of it. Can get the key cut tomorrow so that as soon as it arrives, I can put one together. Will post up a guide with full pics, but not before spraying it RED Good man! Done. Will get key cut tomorrow so I can put it together when it arrives on Friday/Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blade with the key doesn't look very removable, unless you're a seasoned professional or something? There's no screws like others that I've seen on the Internet.

jamesyj Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Oh and the circuit board was designed to fit without the rubber tray that it sits inside of in the standard key. Won't bother me in the slightest though but should mention it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercs havent had flip keys? w220's didnt. They had a detachable key but you rarely use that? Cant wait for a guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've decided to use a ball of blu tack to fill the space nearest to the ignition, I'll pack the transponder inside the blu tack. Shouldn't damage the transponder and will keep it safe I guess.

Watshot Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Yep, seven sold now. Early bird and all that. Be a shame to miss out on this after all the years of waiting with the standard key poking your leg through your pocket... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Well, ordered... BUT I had to buy two, because the key fob badges only came in packs of two.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightRacer Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I'd certainly be interested to see the outcome of these. A similar thing with flip keys happened on the Mazda forum I frequent, the problem was the the quality of the key blade was really poor and they were prone to snapping off in the ignition. It was also found that some key cutters wouldnt cut them incase it wasnt right. If someone could specifically look at the quality and strength of the keyblade it would be useful to know that they are ok...... otherwise Alex might be getting lots of orders for lock sets!

BulletMagnet Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 If weak blades become an issue, we need to find someone that could make stuff out of metal.......WASSO!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 i can dip this in carbon if people wanted, i'd probably look at buying say 5-10 keys and doing them as a batch. then selling them on after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 could even make a nismo decal to go in the little square indent on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
