Hi guys,
Need to remove the airbag/steering wheel from my Xantia, do i need to disconnect the battery for a short while or will i be ok?
I also need to replace the keyfob, the rubber was getting tatty but the dog decided he would remove the rubber completely this morning, if i get another keyfob is it easy to reprogram?

The keys internals are fine but the rubber cover over the switches doesnt exist anymore hence reason for replacement.
I only needed to remove the airbag and wheel to fit my Activa wood trim but i found a way around it

I got hold of a much better key, buttons in mint condition, but how do i swop the actual key bit over?

The rivet that holds the key is made in two pieces that join in the middle. You can insert a suitable tool, such as a blade or screwdiver, between the key and and the case and ease the case apart by a mm or two. This should split the rivet, which can then be flicked out with the blade. The rivet can be re-used.
Spot on. I now have a key without exposed microswitches!
