In this video, we see how to change the shell of the key for the Jaguar XF MK1. First, let's get a new shell for the replacement: we can find it, for example, on eBay with the code 126538724828 at a price of 17.58 euros, with free delivery. Then, we open the old damaged shell and remove the button battery, or take the opportunity to replace it with a new one; it is a common CR2032. We remove the security key and then the printed circuit, which must be removed from the plastic plate by cutting the security with a cutter.

Now we have to reposition everything in the new remote control: we open it and insert the circuit into the support plate, then we put the battery in its housing; we join the two parts by placing the spring, make sure it works, and then put the metal finishes in place.

Now it's time for the security key, which finishes everything off.

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.

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.
