How to replace the shell of a car remote control

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Key

This video is very generic, because it does not concern a specific brand, but it shows us in general how to replace the casing of a car remote. In reality, this is an operation that is very similar for all brands, so we can summarize it quite easily. In this case, it is a professional job, so the key has been duplicated on the new remote, but for a DIY project usually you transfer the key to the new casing, along with the electronic board and the battery (make sure it needs to be replaced); you need to be careful when disassembling and reassembling the spring that turns the key on its pivot, but it's nothing that can't be done with a bit of attention.
