Remote Key Assembly

Model: Citroen Saxo MK 1 - Years 1996-2004
Part: Key

Modern vehicle ignition keys contain electronic circuits that activate the engine start and door unlocking via encrypted codes. If the car key breaks, it is necessary to replace the internal components and transfer them to the new shell. Start by opening the two new shells with a coin, then use tweezers to correctly position the RFID recognition chip in its designated housing. Carefully insert the electronic circuit and close the two shells by simply pressing them together. Test the correct functioning of the new device.
