New Key Shell : amzn.to/2EFW9mM
I bought the battery, now I just need the Rolls Royce.
Ur shop is down the street from my house I would love to see the phantom and old cadillacs in person 😁
Informative video man, thanks
A new RR key for is 1500? That honestly don't surprise me... a new key fob for my chrysler 300c is 250 lol
Why are you so close to this camera.
imon361 he not close to the camera. Problem is his head is too big :)
Any locksmith candy do that in Texas!
I'm glad you're speaking on the little things on true ownership of a car of this type.
Shoulda got a Toyota. -Scotty Kilmer
that key is the same as 7 series. i can program one in less than 5 minutes. wont say RR on it but as a spare would be good (no one makes the aftermarket RR key shells) or do what you did and use a shell from a OEM rolls royce people sell on ebay. far as charging, just buy a EWS tester, it has the same power coil, plug into a 12v and charge your key at home, i do it all the time to bmw keys.
This cat is 100% correct.. its the set up I use for my 05 Phantom
Own a out of warranty ultra- luxury cost tons of talent.
You inspired me to have my dream car, Rolls-Royce phantom. Thanks for all your cool videos!

Your vids are singlehandedly helping businesses like local locksmiths and mechanics, I'm sure the apprentices are binge watching your vids
So no, my dealer nor mechanic never ever told me about the trickle charger port on my phantom, and i've had it for 8 years, thanks a ton for showing me
Thanks for the effort you put into videos, I enjoy them. And the MicroMachine dude was crazy fast, wonder whatever happened to him......
Regarding 'rogue' messages in the warning display. The battery in the fob (VL2020) can , as Bob states, cause issues but the twin batteries in the boot (erm trunk for those from elsewhere) can cause many fault code accumulations and 'odd' messages.
The larger of the two, 019agm 12v 90ah, 900a takes a pounding from all the electronic extras on the RR1 Phantom and when it gets in a weaken state needs plenty of juice to top it up, this in turn can direct charge from the smaller cranking battery, 12v 70ah 760ah, eventually causing start problems.
Oh and dont over look the battery isolation switch which is in the boot (trunk!) its behind a small panel on the right, this reduces battery drain should the vehicle be out of use for any long periods, anything more than 4 weeks, and should you forget you have done this, you will get a warning message in the display.
There is a charging plug behind the same boot panel, please remember you are dealing with AGM batteries so adapting a normal lead acid type battery charger is not the way to go. AGM like low & slow recharge patterns.
Funny I paid 200 for my BMW 750 key and the dealer program it for free and no I didn't buy the car at dealer
I own a bicycle I don't have a car even the bicycle was a gift but what you did it's a good idea.
Video Bob making Rolls Royce ownership affordable since 2019!!!!
Thanks for the great video sir!!
Hi Bob another fantastic video, your Phantom is a Phantom VII which was the first Rolls-Royce car introduced under BMW ownership in 2003.
Rolls Royce over charges for any services!
Amazaing what you can do if you have sommon sense, isn't it? :)
Damn , $1500 for the keyfob! Better start working overtime videobob
Also these cars are not money pits as long as you have a good brain and your hands are not broken car wise. Say, engine and trans blown. You buy the car dirt cheap. Then a wreck for parts. Works even if it's from another brand. Like say the 350 chev and auto into the XJ6.
Don't keep doubting others skills. It's a car. Computer interfaces? There's always someone that can help you
Does Anyone here actually own 2004 phantom
msaleh93 Yeah I have one
I will buy a used Ross Royce some day just because of how simple you make it look👍
waTT .JMMM. MY IN IS THE SAME. THANKS 🤗🙂🤗
Main dealers think..."If you can afford to own a Rolls Royce, you can afford to be ripped off every time you need anything done". It's so good that you are telling them to "Shove-it".
Not that i own a Rolls or a BMW, but these crooks (main dealers) are the the same whatever make of car you own.
Use a heat gun and the glue is softer
Also, as Bob states, ensure the VL2020 battery has the correct 90 degree pin configuration as many listed online are set 180 degree for other applications. Basically, using a clock face, 6 o clock is wrong and quater past 12 is correct. You cannot get + or - mixed up as the pins are different widths.
Bob, This is great information. Currently your link shows they now sell 2 batteries for $25 with shipping included. Still without a doubt the way to go if one is just a little bit handy. Now I know how to fix my own RR Phantom key battery issue. Thank You.
Bob i got to say i was wrong about you. Heard alot of bad things before i judged for myself. Im now a subscriber and have changed my view on you completely. Love the vids man! Cheers.
I have an R230 SL500 Mercedes, it has the infrared key that you turn in the ignition, and i'm still using the initial key battery that was programmed with the car in July 04.
Can anybody help me
Good Boy.
so you have a spare shell and a spare battery? well, what are ya waiting for? :)
You can just buy a AK90+ BMW key programmer for like 30 bucks and program any used key yourself.
ak90 is not for that system, its for older bmws
Nope, it will work
You tell them Bob. Show them how we save da cash, and ass. Because it is basically a raping when you go to a dealer. Me. So how much will you charge me to just remove the lock nuts. I didn't get the nut socket with my car, it's the pesky ones with anti theft rollers and I know you would have a master set. Dealer. Well I don't know how long it'll take, you have to leave the Audi with us and we charge $280.00 an hour.
No. Not me. Same when I got a Mercedes, I learned how to work on it. Even if you buy tools it will be cheaper.
Having said that, know that I'm very competent.
@Videobob Moseley Relatively the same age, I know of the micro machines guy. His name is John Moschitta Jr. and he legitimately holds the world record for the most words spoken in a minute though there are a couple people who beat him since. I think he's still the only one to make a successful career out of it.
Thanks for some great info even though I don't have a RR. Which scan tool did you get to turn the lights off and do you like it? I've seen others on car channels and it seems like a useful tool and much easier then that old OBD2 bulky scanner I used to have 20 years ago. Thanks!
I hope to find a non running 05 Audi A8 W12, (Movie Car) I'm on disability but fixing them myself I should be able to afford it.
The micro machines commercials. Classic!!!! :)
Have you tried to get the old key fob buttons re chromed? That’ll probably make em look nice. Won’t hurt to have a nice spare 🤙🏻
Do a meet and greet in Dallas! You’ll be surprised how many will show up.
Wooh...thanks mate....that what happened to my bro Merce.....we screwed it up....didn't call me.
What about a anti static wristband when holding the circuit board , i use one when changing the battery, will not risk damaging a microchip.
I paid 320$ few years back for a bmw 745li key... love this videos ...
Is the battery spot welded in the bracket? You might be able to loosen it from the bracket with a tiny screwdriver and just slide a new cell in.
I love all your videos specially the rolls-royce one I will own one,I keeped my hope a live
I don't own a RR but I love these repair videos. Keep them coming.
hi
Awesome dude.
Nice vid. Gotta love MicroMachines! I had a couple Dodge Viper MicroMachines in storage until I lost it.
great video
This was a great video. Actually this whole Rolls Royce Phantom series is awesome. Like Bob said when he first purchased the car, there aren't any UA-cam videos showing you how to work on these particular cars and it's a true pleasure to see someone taking the time and money to put this content up for all of us to learn and save.
I’m sure I have one lying around 😃
Bob you can reprogram it but you have to get the old key dis program first
Thank you for posting videos of your Rolls.
Very helpful. Your the best.
72 pinto ac compressor interchanges perfectly on this year rolls
thanks, When I get home I will try this on my Rolls-Royce 👌🏽
Plastic model glue not super glue better !
Very informative, keep it up.
Rolls-Royce people don't like you no more
Why don't you get rid of that car...To it seems like a money pit

Without it no views
You ain’t got a Phantom ONE your car is a RR Phantom 7 :)
Until the Phantom VIII was introduced a few months ago Rolls-Royce NEVER referred to the previous generation as the "Phantom 7". It was just the "Phantom".
Hi there. The same thing on mine bmw e60.
Your so cool 😁
I watched cause its interesting. i try to never take my car to the shop for repairs. last time i did take one in is in 2004 i had to have my transmission rebuilt on my 1990 dodge ram 350 van. and it cost $590. everything else i on my cars i learned how to do and went and got parts and watched a video on how to do it or had someone teach me. and buy the tools yourself. after your done. you get to keep the tool. if dealership or garage do it. they keep tools and you pay to borrow them. and ive also done it with all the computers and other electronics in my house or ive had over the years. ive easily saved myself at least 20 thousand dollars doing stuff myself and ive got to keep all the tools i bought. and not made others rich or their tool collection bigger. all that stuff with cars or electronics are not as hard as you think they are. companies make you think that so they make money off of you. dont let em have it
I think the car is wonderful. You must be very proud to own it. But I have to say as an English man I think Rolls are taking the piss about the price of spares. I suppose part of the cache is to say I paid 1500 dollars for an ignition key. Please keep the video coming as cars of this type of car are becoming available to mere mortals so I for one are very interested.
Nice wallpaper ☺️
"O" ONE MORE THING ! MR.H.WOODS , ON HIS ROSE ! THE ANGEL ! ON THE HOOD .WAS WORKING ! BUT NOW ! IT DONT WORT , IS IT THE BATTERY IN THE KEY FOB .OUR IS IT SOMETHING ELS ! AND DO THEY MAKE A KEY FOB CHARGER .FOR THE KEY FOB , TO BE CHARGED .FOR THE HOUSE ! IF SO ! CAN YOU LET ME KNOW ! THANK YOU AGAIN .FOR YOUR TIME ! MR.H.WOODS !
It cost $612 not $1500
Hi Bob I have a 2007 phantom, I prity much bought it in the condition like yours and slowly fixing things up one at a time, wanted to ask you about two things, any cheaper places I can buy the complete chrome door trimmings, as Rolls Royce are charging ridiculous money, and also I’ve been having a catalytic error code, which keeps throwing up an engine management light. I’ve changed fuel pumps, to coils, to plugs but still can’t turn off the management light as when I clear it, it comes back on next day. Any suggestions please?
Nice video sir.
My philosophy exactly fix your own car I saved a fortune on my BMW although it’s not as big as yours 😂 thanks to UA-cam anything’s possible 👍😎
Hi Bob,
Any idea what tire can go on a 2004 phantom instead of the pax run flat please?
Thanks
David
Hey Bob this video was alot of help I have a BMW and my key is the same way as yours it work but i just can't unlock my doors with it but thanks for this good idea
Awesome 🙌🙌😊👍👌
Bob I know a polish guy who can code out stuff .he can use Carly for easy stuff but he could take a used ecu and code it out , car seats with out active headrests and put them into a active headers car and make the car lose it yet all systems work correctly .. If in doubt get a polish guy
Thanks VB!! Great vid and just ordered two batteries! Thank you.
You know you can start the car, turn it off, take the key out and you can still start it again without the key in the slot.
At least that was the case with my BMW
Nice Video
I always enjoy your how to videos... Thank you... Cheers from southern Oregon!
Interesting comment on the range - I'd noticed the range wasn't that great so will have to try the trickle charger.
Thank you so much you are helping a lot of people that wants to own a royce royce one day have a bless one
This was neat to know even though I'll probably never own a RR
Hi great video's watch them all love all the tips you give people
Use full video thanx love from RP THROTTLE
Bob is a cunning bastard that finds the easiest and cheapest way to get something done. Bloody good stuff!
Thank you Bob I really enjoy your videos
Cheers bob , Great Tip , Ill have to remember it when I finally save up for my Rolls Royce in the year 2099. lol
They are getting cheaper!
In 5 years they will be 20 years old, in 10 years they will be considered "antiques".
I think they will bottom out at about $40K - $50K
and then start going back up.
Bob u do like RED!!!!!! Love the walls!
😮
Which isle is it in? I'm at dollar store now and can't find battery. I would appreciate a quick reply, I'm in disguise since everyone here drives a Kia or Hyundai. I parked my rolls by Starbucks and walked behind the mall/through the alley so no one sees me
3:54
I’ve been looking at buying a used rolls, and your video really helps and inspires! Thanks
Big Moe dont do it. Repairs wont be worth it man
Upload more vid pls !
How is your left frontdoor Bob? :)
I have a Mercedes B Klasse, with paint damage... that sucks man. I am awful proud of the car like you are on yours :)
Note: it isn’t a phantom I. It’s actually a phantom 6-7 :)
Until the Phantom VIII was introduced a few months ago Rolls-Royce NEVER referred to the previous generation as the "Phantom 7". It was just the "Phantom".
Well actually no. RR 1 is the official factory reference for this age of vehicle.
Ouch!!!!
Are Cadillacs expensive to fix?
Depends on how old or new it is. it also depends on the warranty. If its a 70s, 80s or 90s or 2000s Cadillac, it won't cost to much.
I had a 1983 Eldorado w/stainless steel top. Yellow barritz. Ran good. But the heater leaked into to floor + moonroof leaked.
