Soldering rechargeable key fob battery

Found a handy video showing how to replace the reachargable key fob battery for those who have the earlier vehicles. I did do a search but didn't know where to add it hence a new thread.

Make sure that you use an earth strap from your body to Radiator etc as Static electricity can damage the Chips on the circuit board. This guy seems to be unaware of it.
Do not mess around trying to glue it all back together as you can get snap together covers on ebay for £15. (Reusable ones) Offset your Carbon emissions by boycotting Baked Beans and all Green Vegitables.

Those key covers are for the later Freelander 2 2013? on. They do not fit 07-12 models 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

That's strange as I have just fitted 2 of them to a 2007 HSE 57 plate remotes, one of which was an obsolete remote that I inherited with the car and was kaput 10 years ago. (this one I presume had been deprogrammed when I purchased a new one at the time.
The beauty of these new cases is that they can be opened and closed whenever needed without craft knives and superglue.

The fobs in the link Taz put up are perfectly OK. They are not covers, they are complete fob cases.

There are cases being sold for the later fobs which do fit 2013 onwards. If you tried to fit one of these on the early fobs the fob would not fit in the slot! 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

Many thanks for the explanation but,
Do you mean that they physically will not go into the Dash or that they will go in but not be fully retained. Offset your Carbon emissions by boycotting Baked Beans and all Green Vegitables.

The key fobs for 2006-2012 cars fit in the dash slot. Any extra cover/case on them would prevent their use in the slot. Later cars are "keyless" in that there is no slot for them to fit. They just have to be in your pocket (or wherever) for the car to recognise them. You can fit a cover to these if you wish.

I have just taken a look on ebay with a search under "Freelander 2 key fob" which brings up several of the earlier design cases. (they are not covers). I guess all these will most likely fit the slot in the dash. It also brings up some coloured silicone covers and some metal "Freelander 2/Evoque" covers. They are for the later key fob only.
