would it not be better just program a new remote key for the customer as the time spent on fixing is it worth it .

common on these to fail -they aren't worth fixing.


plenty of distributors sell these. But if your not a locksmith then call local one. sure he'll save you mega bucks

Find same type key fob even locked and replace PCF, you will don't need precode or program anything

[Belloriccoefamoso]

klesk thank you but...find... i asked...where could i find? even in private...

[klesk1986]

In Poland we got several sources, but shipping to Italy will be expensive and need time. Try search on ebay or other local auction service, even the used one fob will be good for you. By the way check your board for missing components - i've done today laguna card also with week signal - the reason was missing capacitor on antena line. Check also soldering on all components, but look out for microswitches, they don't like temperature and flux.
