Hi
My key fob has gone through the was and doesn't work now. Have tried changing the battery but still not working.

Can the electronics part of a used key fob from ebay be programmed to the car for remote unlocking?

Hello alsie2

Reading your question, I'm not sure what you're asking.

Are you wanting details on repairing your keyfob or whether a used keyfob can be re-programmed to your car?
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all the evidence and pretend you never tried :lol:
