Citroen C5 Keyfob

Post by jmd »

Is it possible to obtain a Keyfob for a Citroen C5 (year 01) only need the case or the rubber strip with the buttons, as one of the buttons on my existing keyfob has fallen off. Dealers here make a big ceremony about supplying & re-programming a new one.

This was exactly my problem a few years ago.

If you can get a three button fob then all you have to do is open it up as if you were going to replace the battery and swap the rubbery strip with the buttons.

In my case I could only get a four button fob from the scrappies at the time and had to swap over the key blade/transponder and remote plip circuit board from the old three button fob.
