When the buttons on the Opel Astra J remote control wear out, it is inevitable to consider replacing the cover. To perform this operation, it is necessary to purchase a key cover as only the latter will need to be replaced.

Let's start the replacement by opening the remote control and removing the key and the microchip inside it; insert both pieces into the new remote control and assemble the cover. Proceed with the test related to the operation, otherwise it is possible to reprogram the key. As long as the microchip is not damaged, in that case it is also necessary to replace it.
