Not sure why your guts don't fit the flip key. I've been using the OEM style flip key whenever I'm using my truck now, I love that thing. That key fit together perfectly, the aftermarket flip key works fine, but the OEM style feels more solid.

Mind if I see how you set yours up? Maybe mine is different somehow I'm unsure:/

I ordered another OEM style flip key, which will arrive on the 17th, hopefully. I will open up my aftermarket flip key and transfer the guts into the new OEM style key since that has a better feel to it. I'll snap a pic or two when I do that.

Sounds good, just would kinda suck if I bought it and cant use it :/

I do not want to open up the already assembled OEM flip key to see how that one went together, because these keys are a bit tricky to get them closed and wound up properly.

- All the OEM flipkey parts layed out, plus my OEM key guts. The battery stays attached, do not remove it.
- Simply flip over key guts into the flipkey.
- Attach key ring, and connect bottom of flipkey with the screw on the back.
- Have fun attaching key blade, button, and spring (Winding up the spring to get a good solid 'Flip' will take a few attempts.
- This video might help with the spring windup, there are plenty more videos to help out available.
