The remaining part of the housing is almost cast or jammed so tightly that it is hardly possible to open it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only option was to use a coarse milling cutter (Dremel or similar) to remove the housing layer by layer until the circuit board was completely free and could finally be removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When milling, please proceed with extreme caution and plenty of leisure: haste can quickly result in a milled board. Hurry with time is therefore the top priority! So always nice and slow...!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Montage\"><\/span>Assembly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Assembling the board is quick. It is simply placed with the mounting holes on the small plastic nipples and positioned with light pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing the mechanical key in exchange for the dummy key is trickier. So that the key jumps into position when the release button is pressed, a spring is preloaded in the key joint.<br>This preload must be re-introduced when inserting the original key and then turning the key twice with the spring engaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The housing can then be put on, the battery inserted, the function tested and the battery compartment closed with the battery compartment cover.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading time<\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span>At some point, the buttons on the car radio key give up the ghost, a button is broken, the radio key fails to work.
