Take your outdated stick out key, and turn it into a flip out key!
** Please note that the flip fob ONLY works with vehicles that have a stick out key. If you have a push start vehicle this fob will NOT WORK with your key. This kit will come with a blank key that you will need to get cut. **
After using this key fob for a little over a week, I have some thoughts about it. 1, yes, it is a tremendous upgrade from the OEM key fob. Making the key more compact just feels better in my pockets. However, the “plastic” feel to the fob feel cheap and unstable whenever I turn the key in the engine. I feel like it will eventually wear out and I will need to purchase another to replace this. My other thoughts on this are the plastic extensions that contact the insides of the fob are too long and contact the buttons too soon - unless you shave them down. I had to dremel the plastic pieces down. Otherwise, my whole neighborhood was wondering why my car alarm was randomly going off while I was trying to put the pieces together…. Lol There is definitely room for improvement because other flip fobs feel more solid than this one but it’s still an upgrade!
United StatesI got the original in the mail and it had some minor defects that caused it to be misaligned between the two halves of the shell. Another issue is the retaining cross for the flip key immediately wore away causing it to not engage the spring. It also would not click into place the few times it did work. They sent a second as a warranty and the customer service was top notch. The new one was in much better shape but the key was still binding as it opened and closed. Using some wd40 I was able to fix that issue. Overall it’s a good product but definitely needs a slight redesign and I think it would be perfect
United StatesOverall, pretty easy and straightforward upgrade. The video on YouTube is helpful to help troubleshooting and I’m very happy with the quality and fit/finish of the product like the other meso customs products. I’d highly recommend the switch
United StatesGot this fob and was very happy with the shipping , packaging and quality of the product. I purchased a while ago and just had the time to assemble it. After getting the key cut and the chip installed , the rest of the assembly was pretty easy. However , Just about 2 weeks of using it , the one piece (TRD) Button has fallen off, the buttons randomly set my car alarm off and the flip part of the fob has stopped staying closed. The top piece of the fob by the button to open the key has a slight crack and now the key doesn't stay closed. It seems to crack a little more Everytime I turn the car on. Really thought the quality was more durable than what it is. For as much as it was to assemble , I would have hoped it would have lasted longer than it did
United StatesI purchased this back in April 2023 and it worked just fine until a few weeks ago. I noticed that a screw had fallen out and I emailed Meso for the screw size. Customer service responded back the next day and I thought that was it. I ordered some screws and then went to insert it in with a little loctite. The screw did not catch so I opened up the FOB and that's when I noticed all of the posts were broken, then the bottom of the FOB was cracked. I responded back to the customer service email letting them know that I was disappointed and expected it to last longer since I completely destroyed a factory FOB. I still haven't heard back and even though I'm not expecting any replacement, I would at least expect an response of some sort. I will never order another MESO product again.
