How to replace a car key shell

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Key

The remote controls for cars available on the market are mostly the same models; some have a removable cover to easily replace the battery, while others have side buttons that allow access to the battery compartment. However, if the shell is damaged, it is important to replace it using the microchip inside the remote control, and if the battery is still working, also the battery. To open a remote control, we must remove the cover on the back to remove the battery and insert a flat-tipped screwdriver into the side to open the remote control and remove the microchip inside. Take the new shell and insert the microchip inside it; before closing the two parts, insert the key, close the two parts, and insert the battery.
