Package Contents

  • One (1) KeylessOption Remote Key Fob Shell (front and back casing, and side pieces).
  • Note: This package does not include the internal circuit board, transponder chip, or battery. These components must be transferred from your original key fob.

Setup and Installation

The installation process involves carefully transferring the electronic components from your old key fob into the new KeylessOption shell. No programming is required for the shell itself.

  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Ensure you have a clean, well-lit area. You may need a small flat-head screwdriver or a prying tool.
  2. Open Your Original Key Fob: Carefully separate the two halves of your existing key fob. This often involves prying along the seam. Be gentle to avoid damaging the internal components or the casing.
  3. Remove Internal Components: Locate the circuit board and the battery. Gently remove them from the old casing. Handle the circuit board by its edges to avoid touching the electronic components.
  4. Inspect Components: Check the circuit board and battery for any visible damage or corrosion. If the battery is old or weak, consider replacing it at this stage.
  5. Insert Components into New Shell: Place the circuit board into the new KeylessOption key fob shell, ensuring it sits securely and correctly within the designated slots. Then, insert the battery.
  6. Assemble the New Shell: Carefully align the two halves of the new key fob shell and snap them together. Ensure all edges are flush and the buttons operate smoothly.
  7. Test Functionality: After assembly, test all buttons (lock, unlock, remote start, panic, lift gate) to ensure they function correctly with your vehicle.

Important: Exercise caution when opening and closing the key fob shells, as the plastic clips can be fragile. Refer to the image in the Product Overview section for a visual reference of the shell components.

Operating Instructions

Once the internal electronics from your original key fob have been successfully transferred into the new KeylessOption shell, the remote will operate identically to your previous one. No new programming is required for the shell itself, as the programming resides within the transferred circuit board.

  • Press the Lock button to lock your vehicle's doors.
  • Press the Unlock button to unlock your vehicle's doors.
  • Press the Remote Start button (if applicable) to start your vehicle remotely.
  • Press the Panic button to activate the vehicle's alarm.
  • Press the Lift Gate button to open or close the power lift gate (if equipped).

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Wipe the key fob shell with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the plastic.
  • Protection: Avoid dropping the key fob or exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture, as this can damage the internal electronics.
  • Battery Replacement: If your remote's range decreases or it becomes unresponsive, the battery may need replacement. Follow the "Setup and Installation" steps to open the shell and replace the battery. Ensure you use the correct battery type as specified by your vehicle manufacturer.
