right i have a slight problem... i have a new vw flip key to replace my old one wich randomly decided it didnt want to lock my car anymore... BUT i need to get the transponder out after i have superglued it in, i know acetone will do the job of setting the glue back to a liquid state but i need to know what the transponder is made of so i know if the acetone will react to it or not ?

possible options:

carbon fibre - fine should be no chemical reaction at all
glass - even better acetone dosent react to this
plastic - big problemo... highly concentrated acetone will melt it lol


why in the blue hell did i superglue it.. what an idiot !

It is made of the same thing that circuitry ICs are made of. Like a bakelite-silica compound. It shouldnt be affected if you use as little as possible

not directly related but is the chip easy to get out of the original key?

nope... and the one iglued in i managed to get out but now it wont override the immobiliser... hav no idea why

Where abouts have you put it in the flip key? It needs to be as close to the blade end as possible.

it was its in the holder that already in the flip key... but i dont understan cause it worked before in my old flip key... and now it wont... i did put a bit of acetone on it to dissolve the glue ... you reckon that killed it ?

Have you damaged its edges at all?

Its possible, but unlikely.

yah a little lol.. b*******s !... il have to get a new one im not going to risk damaging my one working one...

does it have to be out the key to be cloned ?

Itll need a new chip in the key to clone to, and noit doesnt.

cheers mate ...
