Mk7 flip key

[Thequeenscheese]

I know peeps have said that a flip key isn't available for the mk7 but what's so special about the key that this won't fit?

The pics are of my exploded key..

Are mine normal mk7 keys or is it possible being a 57 and close to the facelift could these be the same as mk6?

That be a Mk7 key..!

Unless the key is badly worn or damaged my question would be...Why bother?

Doing what I do all day at work, bending, nealing, awkward positions Eric is always stabbing me in the leg whichever pocket it's in. And no it no a euphemism lol..

Looking at the pics of my spare key, where is the transponder located does anyone know? In my old navara when I did that one the transponder was a 4-5mm sq white thing there's nothing like that here or even that size is it incorporated to the pcb on these?

Looking at it again in daylight I'm 99.9% certain that the king bit on the left of the battery is the transponder as it doesn't look to be soldered in and looks of the same material that was covered in white plastic on my old navara, I can't see why a flip housing wouldn't work if the pcb fits inside the housing ok, and everything is close enough to the Ing to work.. So I've ordered one to test..

When I have my custom flip key in my pocket and bend down and stuff it presses the button and it un flips and stabs me in the fanny
Hope this helps

Have you done one for the mk7 then?

[bigjohnthomas]

No that's got a key the same as yours the custom has a flip key
Daytime I have that mk7 key in one pocket and the custom key in the other and as soon as you start grubbing about a bit it presses the button and the flip one opens up

[Thequeenscheese]

That's a pain then not had it myself tho tbh..

[bigjohnthomas]

well I call it a fanny
Its more of a nob really
Anyway when it goes off in your pocket its bigger than the mk7 key

What's bigger than the key?

I believe the mk7 doesn't have a transponder as such but the circuit board effort is the immobiliser thingy.

My mk6 has a flip key, it doesn't flip out in my pocket or unlock my van in my pocket N

You only have a little silver nob Ned that must be why it doesn't get all big in your pocket
I have a large bulbous silver nob one tap and boinnnnnngggg hummmmmmm baby
