Setup: Transferring Internal Components

This section details how to transfer the internal circuit board and battery from your existing key fob into the new USARemote replacement shell. This process does not program the remote to your vehicle; it only prepares the physical remote.

1. Disassemble Your Original Key Fob: Carefully open your existing key fob. Most fobs have a small slot or seam where you can gently pry them open using a small flat-head screwdriver or a specialized pry tool. Remove the internal circuit board and any existing battery.
2. Insert Battery (if applicable): If your circuit board requires a new battery or if the new shell has a dedicated battery slot, insert a CR2032 lithium metal battery (included with the product) into the designated compartment. Ensure correct polarity.
3. Place Circuit Board into New Shell: Carefully align and place your original circuit board into the new USARemote shell. Ensure it sits securely and the buttons align with the rubber pad of the new shell.
4. Reassemble the New Shell: Close the two halves of the new key fob shell, ensuring they snap together firmly.
5. Insert Emergency Key Blade: If your original fob had an emergency key blade, transfer it to the designated slot in the new shell.

Important: Professional programming is required for this key fob to function with your vehicle. This product will not self-program.

Maintenance and Battery Replacement

The key fob is powered by a CR2032 lithium metal battery. If the remote's range decreases or it stops responding, the battery may need replacement.

1. Disassemble the Fob: Use a small flat-head screwdriver or pry tool to carefully separate the two halves of the key fob shell.
2. Remove Old Battery: Locate the CR2032 battery within the circuit board assembly. Gently pry out the old battery.
3. Insert New Battery: Insert a new CR2032 battery, ensuring the positive (+) side faces up.
4. Reassemble the Fob: Align the two halves of the key fob shell and press them together until they snap securely.

Cleaning: To clean the exterior of the key fob, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

• Remote Not Working After Component Transfer:
  Ensure the circuit board is correctly seated within the new shell and the battery is properly installed with correct polarity. Verify that the buttons on the rubber pad align with the contacts on the circuit board.
• Remote Not Operating Vehicle Functions:
  This key fob requires professional programming to your vehicle. If it is not working, it likely has not been programmed correctly. Contact a qualified automotive locksmith or dealership for programming services.
• Reduced Remote Range:
  Check the battery. A weak battery can significantly reduce the remote's operating range. Replace with a new CR2032 battery if necessary.
• Buttons Feel Stiff or Unresponsive:
  Ensure the internal rubber button pad is correctly aligned and not misaligned or pinched during reassembly.
