The key model in question is identical for Renault, Dacia Duster, and Nissan Qashqai. Replacing the entire key can be quite costly as it requires reprogramming directly from the manufacturer.

The simplest and most economical solution is to purchase a key shell and replace it yourself. The procedure is straightforward: use a small screwdriver to separate the two parts of the original key. Remove the metal part of the key and take out the electronic board with a small screwdriver.

The board may not fit correctly into the new shell. Shape it appropriately with a tool, avoiding breaking the metal tracks.

Using a soldering iron, remove the micro switches and replace them with two new ones, soldering them onto the PCB (the switches are often included in the shell package). If the shell does not have a hole to view the status LED, drill it appropriately using a small drill.

Close the shell and PCB and perform a few tests to open/close.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
