How to Replace the Key Shell on an Alfa Romeo MiTo?

Model: Alfa Romeo Mito MK 1 - Years 2008-2018
Part: Key

To replace the key shell on an Alfa Romeo MiTo, use a screwdriver to pry off the silicone cover, giving access to the actual key. This can be disassembled by unscrewing the three front screws corresponding to the buttons and lifting the ignition key, allowing you to pry inside its housing. Once the two halves of the remote are opened, you can remove the battery and the coding chip from inside, so they can be inserted into a new shell.
