Hi, I have a key that only has the standard unlock and lock buttons on but I'd like a key that has the boot release button on there too, does anyone know if I bought a key with the boot release and just took the internals from my current key and placed them into the 3 button key would the boot release button work or would it need different internals to be able to release the boot? Thanks in advance for any help!

That's fine don't worry about it haha, I see, so different shapes have different boot latches? That's a shame, even if it just had the unlock but had to be pulled up by hand I could've changed the arms so it's open fully on its own, that's a shame as I have the hatchback so can't do that

I have the boot release button on my key fob, but my car is an Elite hatchback. Basically, if the internal circuit board inside your current key only has 2 buttons on it, a new 3 button shell will not add the extra button, you've got to have 3 buttons on the internal circuit board.
