How to Replace the Blade and Key Shells of the Peugeot 207

Model: Peugeot 207 MK 1 - Years 2006-2015
Part: Key

If you want to replace the remote key shells for this car model, you can purchase them aftermarket, and they usually come complete with the so-called blade, which is the metal key but lacks coding. Instead of having the key coded, you can remove the original coded key and fit it into the new shells: this operation is quite simple as the blade is secured to its support with a spring pin. You just need a hammer and a nail to extract the spring pin and then move the coded blade to the new shells. By prying between the key shells, you can extract the electronic circuit to insert it into the new ones.
