How to Disassemble the Changan Eado Key?
2 Answers
Here are the methods for disassembling the Changan Eado key: 1. For the standard key, gently pry open the upper and lower shells of the key using a tool, replace the battery, reinsert the circuit board with the new battery into the key shell, and then press the shells together. 2. For the smart key, press the PUSH button to remove the mechanical key, use the front end of the mechanical key to pry open the key shell, replace the battery, reinsert the circuit board with the new battery into the key shell, press the shells together, and reinsert the mechanical key. Here is some related information: A smart key allows you to remotely unlock and lock the doors without inserting the key into the keyhole. Its biggest advantage is that, regardless of day or night, there is no need to locate the keyhole, eliminating the cumbersome process of inserting the key to open the door. It allows for convenient remote unlocking (opening) and locking (locking) of the doors. The remote key can also open the trunk and fuel tank filler cap from outside the vehicle, as well as close the windows and retract the side mirrors when locking the car.
Disassembling the Changan Eado key is actually quite simple. I've done it several times myself. First, use a fingernail or a flathead screwdriver to insert into the thin gap on the side of the key, then gently pry open the upper part along the gap. Be careful not to use too much force, as the plastic clips can easily break. After opening, you'll see a black rubber sealing ring—don't lose it. For the lower part, you need to pull out the mechanical key by pressing the button at the end of the key to remove the metal key blade. At this point, the upper and lower shells will separate, revealing the circuit board and battery. Handle everything gently during the entire process. The battery model is CR2032, which is available in supermarkets. When reassembling, first insert the metal key back into the slot, then close the shell and press until you hear a click. The whole process takes about five minutes. Remember to work on a clean surface throughout to avoid losing small parts.
