How to Replace the Key Shell of the Hyundai i40?

Model: Hyundai I40 MK 1 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Key

To replace the key shell of the Hyundai i40, use a tool to pry off the key fixed at the top of the remote. Once the key is removed, open the two halves of the remote to extract the coding chip and the battery inside. These two pieces must then be inserted into the new shell, and the key must also be secured. Once the key is fixed, close the remote and check that it functions correctly.
