    Went to a locksmith today to see if it was possible to make the flip key conversion.
    I was told because the car key requires a chip to turn on the car it will not be possible to make it.
    I still have hope
    Ask your nearest locksmith if it is possible

    we can do this and glue it inside the shell
    lol i coulda told you that, but anything is possible.
    with enough motivation. good luck.

    I FOUND IT!!!!!
    This is for the Galants with only an unlock and lock buttons.
    Not for the ones that have a trunk or panic button. (which is what I’m looking for)

    I can confirm that that does not work you have to do some heavy modding to the case in order for it to fit. The blank key that it comes with does not work with 8g galants or 3g eclipse's. I have recently purchased a new keyblank and try cutting it in order to fit into it currently i have mine taped to fit inside the case with the electronic board.

    I havent done it. I need a 3 button remote for mine. I have the trunk on my key fob and they don’t make it with 3 buttons. I emailed him so I’m waiting for a response to see if i can get one custom made :)

    email response:
    Dear 03gallant Hi,we checked it and found we don't have the suitable flip key shell for you at present,hope you can understand it.
    Best regardsFiona

    I think what will end up happening is getting the 2 button fob and mod it to fit the trunk button. Getting the right blank key is still a problem.
    I will keep updating status on progress

    if you want a flip key mod you will have to do some cutting of the shell. I have made a flip key mod with the vw key mod and the lock unlock button works as well as the key that i cut for it. Costed me a total of 30$ and some cutting

    theres a collection of photos kind of what i had to do in order to get it to fit and the buttons work too. there is a small place for the trasnpaonder chip next to the flipping key.

    Edit: key will have to be looked at by your local locksmith.

    refer to this post and you'll be fine. still need a chip to be programed to the key. there is a place to put the chip in the new SHELL. you still need the factory board to put in the empty ebay shell

    atm im not to worried about the alarm set up but for sure i want the flip out key, If i end up setting up the alarm which chip would i need for that case?

    Plug and play. Now to modify a third button for the trunk.
    It came out great. Spent hours with locksmith. Suggest to buy extra key blanks in case they cut too much

    I did that too until i opened my remote key fob and found out that my internals fit in without modifications. Had to buy a second one.
    This is a picture of what i did before i opened up my remote. Dont do this without opening your factory remote.

    i think with a little patience, you could dremel out a space for the original trunk button boot to fit and be good. I'll have to look at the inside of the remote again.
