Question - the transponder in the button pack. I take it is powered by the battery in the key? When the battery gets low, will the signal strength of the transponder also get low, as in low enough that I won't be able to start the car? If so, is it easy to change the battery over or will it lose all it's programming?
I've just received a flip key (eBay) to replace one of the two broken keys that came with my car (the valet key is mint, but the other two are broken/cracking) and it's not a great quality item. Ok, it was only £7, but it needs a stronger spring to flip the key out properly, and it's a little bulky. But, I'm gonna see if I can get it cut and see how I live with it anyway. I've already transferred the button pack from one of the busted keys into it, just to check it all fits and is useable, so I also checked that it should work in regard to the transponder - as I'd read here and there that the transponder is too far away for the key to work. Used the now empty key and of course the engine only turned over and wouldn't start. So I tried again holding the flip key against the now empty key at about the position it would be if it was just the flip key and the engine started no problem. So by the looks of it, it will start the car. Just got to get the blade cut now

As far as I know the transponder for the immobiliser isn't powered, only the remote is but someone please correct me if I'm wrong
