Review: It’s awasome Thanks Review: This was a perfect replacement to my worn out fob, which had broken off rubber where the buttons should be. The new buttons are a tougher rubber more consistent with newer GM fob's. Hopefully that means it'll last longer than the old soft rubber ones I'm replacing. IMPORTANT NOTE: Inside the key section (A Section) (See Owners Manual) of your original fob is a Passive Transponder (See Picture). This transponder needs to be carefully transferred over to the new fob. To open that section you must undo the screw in the Pontiac symbol hole (this is very apparent on your new fob, since the sticker isn't applied yet), and just requires popping the symbol sticker off the old one. You will see the rectangle transponder inside to one side. Mine didn't want to come out willingly and I was forced to carefully cut around it with a dremel tool. I didn't want to damage it by prying with a screw driver or other sharp object. Once you un-lodge the passive chip, simply insert it into the new fob in the appropriate space, and while you are at it, save some money on cutting a new key and transfer the key part of your old fob over as well, works perfectly. Make sure to properly load the spring when inserting the key section so that it will pop out when pressing the button. If you have about 15-30 minutes of patience this replacement works wonderfully. If you fail to move that transponder over to the new fob, your car will enter Engine Immobilizer Operation, and won't start. Needless to say this happened to me, until I discovered the passive chip. Also if the A section (Key section) of the fob is still in good condition, you can always just keep that part and click it into the new B section (Buttons) once you transfer the remote insides over. My entire fob was in pretty rough shape so it was worth the time to replace the entire shell. ## Features - This is a replacement 4+1 button key case fit for 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 - NO interior (remote/electronics/transponder chip) unit inside - All you need to do is to move the internal components from your old remote to our new case. - The keyblade needs to be cut at your local dealer or qualified locksmith - Please note this is an aftermarkert replacement remote key ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B010AKECCQ | | Automotive Fit Type | Vehicle Specific Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #57,276 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #1,954 in Key Shells | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (263) | | Date First Available | 6 April 2016 | | Item Weight | 50 g | | Item model number | LYSB010AKECCQ-ELECTRNCS | | Manufacturer | KEYECU | | Manufacturer Part Number | G8-5B | | Number of buttons | 5 | | Product dimensions | 11.4L x 7.6W centimeters | | UPC | 645709247594 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Keyecu - **Colour:** Black - **Item weight:** 50 Grams - **Material:** Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) - **Vehicle service type:** Car ## Images ![Keyecu Replacement Shell Folding Remote Key Case Fob 5 Button for Pontiac G8 2008-2009 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+SOP9ARCL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this have rubber insert like the oem? I can just take the nasty old rubber off the oem one. Im looking for new rubber that just insert.is this?** A: Not like the OEM one, but still seems to be a (harder compound) rubber, you don't get that nasty almost slimy feel to it. I've had mine a couple years now, it started out harder than s*** to push, then got easier, and now 3-4 years later and it's to the point I need a new one as it has holes in it now. **Q: Is this one or two shells?** A: One shell **Q: Can the old key be transferred over to this new fob? I am having trouble finding someone who can cut a replacement key.** A: The old flip key can be reused, you’ll have to push out the roll pin and reset it in there. Plus there is that chip that has to be carefully removed from the old key case and put into the new case. **Q: Does this come with a Pontiac logo for the back of the key?** A: Nope it's blank, you have to search around for it, someone else has them, $5-8 each, I bought this and re did my key when I bought my 'new' used Pontiac. Happy searching. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by F***L on 6 May 2021* It’s awasome Thanks ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***S on 2 December 2015* This was a perfect replacement to my worn out fob, which had broken off rubber where the buttons should be.

The pieces snap together well with a solid feel and don't wiggle around. The included decal is also high quality and appears to have a strong adhesive. I didn't use the included key blank, but instead transferred the key from my original unit and all the moving parts fit perfectly including the spring and rotating/locking mechanism. My main complaint is the small screw holding the unit together was too tight and started to strip easily - I had to try three different sized screwdrivers to get it out very gingerly. My only other complaint, like others have said, is the buttons are more like plastic than the OEM rubber. I had replaced my originals not that long ago, so I just reused that portion of the key and it snapped together fine. Overall, you can't beat this product for the price, provided you are willing to put in a little effort and time disassembling your old key to Dremel out the transponder and transfer the key if you want to. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/284712303-keyecu-replacement-shell-folding-remote-key-case-fob-5-button](https://www.desertcart.be/products/284712303-keyecu-replacement-shell-folding-remote-key-case-fob-5-button) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
