According to the TSB the design key does not work for 3-button keys but what about 1-button keys like on my 99 C4? No info about that in the TSB. Has anybody done it and can confirm it works?

Thorsten,

It is my understanding that the key head will work just fine for an early model, one button car. You will simply have a key button that does nothing.

This is under the assumption that you are referring to taking the electronics out of your original key head and inserting them into the design key.

Hi Kim,

that's what I was planning to do. I'm just not sure if the one button of my key would be in the correct position for it to work correctly with on of the two button surfaces of the design key. Would be a little stupid though if I had to hit the hood button to open the doors.
