Now let's gut the physical key to remove the all important Transponder Chip and physical key. This will be split into 2 steps, 5 & 6, due to limits with photos.

This Transponder Chip is highly important, without it the vehicle will NOT start. They are highly fragile and can easily chip (no pun intended here, this is serious) rendering TC useless, use a Ziploc to not lose it.

Notice this little 'H' on one side of the key, I've found that the Chip is sitting on the opposite side of this, there is no guarantee this is always the case but it was for this one and every other one I've done. This can also be a 'G' or little dot.

The easiest way to cut the Black/Gray Key is with a hobby knife. Slow and steady will win here.

You can see in the last photo, that the Chip is surrounded in a white housing, so when cutting open the rubber moulding there's very little chance of touching the Chip itself, just be careful.

The Chip can now be removed from the white housing. Minor cutting may be required.

The TC chip is still very fragile!
