Thanks for being so descriptive bro
Top man! Good video!
Top man dave fair play 👏
Hell of a process but definitely made it a lot easy.Much appreciated 😁🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Thanks Dave just ordered the key fob I’ll try this one it’s looking really fancy. Couldn’t order from you I’m not from England
Sorry you couldn't order from me....its just a pain doing global shipping 🙈....the last competition I ran, for the obd11 reader never made it to the Netherlands, got list in the post
Funny I’m from Amsterdam 😁

Gracias
id be more than happy to pay £20 for you to do mine. That looks like a right faff
Quiero pero mi llave es de presencia puedo hacer con eso ? Muchas me dicen que no que solo con llave directa
Done mine just, couldn't have done that without your video mate 👌 when I need to change the battery do I need to take the whole key apart again or will it just pop out?
Back plate pops off, small slot bottom on back, small screwdriver and it pops off 😀
@@whatsdavedone104 legend nice one, didn't fancy taking that apart again lol
Have you ever done one with the VW 2 piece key? I want to do mine, its a 2008 Polo with the 3 button remote, where the LED is next to the boot button. Thanks
You will need mk7 rep key not mk8 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264039243671?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=GF_WbJEAR5G&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=v2nLhoGjSEW&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Great video. Trying to get the Mk6 key case open is quite difficult though. Any other tips?
Not really, just get some long nosed pliers in the gap and pry apart, it takes a little force but when it pops you will know....then get a flat head screwdriver and gently work round the case to pop it all open
Thanks, tried that for about 20mins yesterday with no luck. Will give it another go.
It will pop, just use plenty of force 👍
Just ordered mine from your eBay listing just need a new Skoda badge now
It will be in the post 1st class tomorrow....so you don't want the VW badge on it, just leave it blank? 14mm is badge size
@@whatsdavedone104 thanks a lot mate and no I don’t need the VW badge just leave it blank and I will get a Skoda one ordered thank you
I did want the mk7 style key but after watching your videos I realised that can’t be done with a simple case swap
@@whatsdavedone104I ordered 14mm badges and they seem too big, I think 12mm might fit better?
@BennyBHJ yes it is 12mm....my mistake
Dave. Where can you buy the gel type (not metal) key badge to fit this key? Thanks, Alan.
The cases should come with the gel badge. Since recording this video I have purchased 70 more for sale and they have come with gel badges.
You can purchase 14mm gel badges on ebay amazon etc
@@whatsdavedone104 Thanks a lot.
Can the golf mk7 key be converted? The LED is on the top right but not exactly in the corner.
Unfortunately there is currently no key upgrade for the MK7....unless you have keyless entry/ignition
Hey mate! Please,i have an issue with my key case. When i move the original chip into the new key,my car will start and immediately shut down with a “safe stop” message. I have the transponder glued to the chip, but i don’t know what would be the problem. I did the exact same thing as you did. Any tipa would help,thank you!
Is your led still working? If led is broken then transponder will not be recognised by immobiliser
Hey Dave, did you encounter any issues where it states that the “key was not in range” I’ve done the swap over and it gives me that message and turns the vehicle off. My stock mk6 key works fine. Thanks I’m advance!
I have done 125 swaps since this video and had no complaints. Only thing I can think is you mk6 original key had a glass transponder pill in it that you haven't moved across....its not covered in my video because most have the transponder glued to the circuit board
A true man’s video as we all would of made the same mistakes & now we all know the problems & how to avoid them. PS I wish you all the luck with your EBAY business. Thanks again for a great video
hi mate when you switch over doesnt the key reset because you disconnected the battery?
No, all works a before. Just like changing the battery when it's flat
Hi Dave, Do you happen to know if it would work if your key doesn't have the LED at the top? Thanks
No unfortunately it will not work with led in centre, different board shape inside....you can do a mk7 conversion
alright then thank you i’ll keep and eye out for a used board, Thank you :)
How can i take the cover off from the new key you did not show and i am not able to remove the glossy part wjere the logo comes on
It is held on with 5 small black clips....put a small flat head screwdriver in the bottom and gently push up
@@whatsdavedone104made it work out but the slot for the chip does not match the one i have. I dont seem to find any that fits the two buttun mk4 fob to do this mod. Now i broke a tab on my old key and have to open and close with the fob instead of the remote until i get a nee one and try again
I would love to do this, sadly my led is in the middle for some reason...
You have the older style key, you can do mk7 rep key
i just found that out, will do that for sure!@@whatsdavedone104
Is the sanding down/making the key shorter essential on every conversion? Ive just received mine
The slot to fit the blade in is smaller on the new housing so yes it need filing to fit....or you could take the blank blade to a key cutter with a CNC cutting machine and have the blade cut for a cost of around £8...Timpsons in the UK offer this service 👍
@@whatsdavedone104 Ah yea, id thought that tbf. Does the VW logo from the old key fit on the MK8 key, i didnt get sent 1?
@Sam-tw2sr yes badge from old key is the correct size
@@whatsdavedone104 Sweet, nice 1. I know i saw somewhere in another video you did where people sent you the keys for you to do the conversion for them? Do you still offer that, if so do you charge for it?
@Sam-tw2sr I do offer that service, £25 including 1st class signed for return postage. Aim to get the key back in the post the same day I receive it.....email me rogersdave77@yahoo.co.uk
Hey how to hole in the key, which tool you used please reply
1.5mm drill bit
Will this work on the 4 button Mk7 GTI key fob?? Mine has lock, unlock, boot open and panic
Unfortunately there is no mk7 upgrade available
What about the immobiliser chip
Immobiliser chip is glued to the board 👌 not like older style that has a glass transponder separate from board 😀
Great vid Dave, hopefully I'll be able to get the new blade cut (I'm Greg btw 😄)
I had my suspicions that this you 😉
Timpsons just cut my blade for me £9
@@That_spicy_rocco they did mine too 👍
This is VERY interesting@@That_spicy_rocco .. I didn't see this video till 'after' buying a couple of fobs from Aliexpress 🙁 The ones I ordered even have an RFID capsule but not planning on using that feature.. just access to my car. The Ali ones have a blank blade and wondered who would cut the blades (in situ I presume?) as I really didn't want to dismantle the blade and find someone on eBay that would cut the one I provided. Seems that not all blades are identical... live and learn) Did Timsons do the blade still attached to the fob, for you. Thanks for replying
Yes timpson will cut the blade with it still in the housing
What size are the emblem badges ?
12mm...in the video I said they don't come with badges, they do come with badges they "forget" to put mine in when I ordered
Mine come whitout the screws, where i buy it?
Where did you purchase the case from? Contact the seller, should have 2 screws and gel badge
Hey man currently was doing this now and my 2008 mk5 key has a little different mother bored any reason why?
Mk5 key can't be swapped to mk8, the board is wrong shape....you need mk7 rep key upgrade for mk5

@@whatsdavedone104 dang that sucks what model mk5 works with Mk8 key can I not by the other shaped mother bored and use that and get it programmed to the car?
@user-os6re8kf6v you can have a newer key coded yes but it's not cheap...younwould be looking at around £120+
@@whatsdavedone104 do you have the link of the mother bored that I can use in the Mk8 replica key to thank program it to my mk5 gti
Will this work with mk 7 golf or skoda octavia mk3?
Unfortunately not.....well definitely not mk7 golf.
Not sure what key the mk3 octavia uses
Any rep case available for golf mk7?
@s999l9 unfortunately there are currently no mk7 key upgrades available
what about IMMO ?
The immobiliser chip is glued onto the board....when you move the board you also move the immobiliser chip
@@whatsdavedone104 thanks :)
No problem 😊
😭Australia Ohhh The colonies 😉
Sorry mate....postage would be to much 🤷♂️ also last time I did a giveaway (obdeleven dongle) it got lots in postage system going to Holland and never made it to the winner 😢
I want one
I lost my spare key fob and the other has a broken tang holster. Id love to buy one for sure
Is there any kind of golf 7 flip key upgrade to that kind of key but without keyless function?
Unfortunately there is no upgrade at present for the mk7 key housing😕
