I know maybe this is a bit too much but this could be one of the happiest days of my life! My baby is back and without any major damage!
It is really impressive because the car has been sitting still on a quiet street for almost 1,5 years. After the robbery, the mugs ditch the car without damage on a cozy neighborhood. Since then, the locals thought that it was someone's car from around. Only when a curious person wonder why it was so dirty and with empty tires that my luck began. He noticed the jammed doorlock and took a pic and posted in a website used to tag abandoned vehicles. As my car was reported as stolen, the police scanned daily on the website and voilá!! Found it and send it to the police warehouse. Now I have to see if it works properly.Holy f#*&! That's impressive! How on earth did you get it back?
That's what i'm thinking. I will swap the transpoder to the new blade and insert the old remote to the blade housing. I thought the key blade was the transpoder antenna and when inserted on the barrel it would be "scanned" (because the blade have a little black dot on the bottom).Yeah, door lock is easy enough. If you have the matching ignition barrel then I think (and I could be wrong) you can either swap the transpoder to the new key or swap the new key blade to the old housing.
It may even work if you have your old key next to the new one as the range is okay.
My concern would be how they managed to defeat the alarm and immobiliser?
