Replacement "flip" key possible?

[sammysquid]

The transponder on the original key circuit board is soldered and fixed in position, there is no room for movement of the board so you couldn't change the position
Whether an aftermarket transponder - the id44 ones pf7935as I think might have more range? I don't know might be worth a try! but I don't think you can move the board closer within the limits of the flip key.

if its soldered it can be de-soldered ? or does it need to be connected to circuity board?

Yes it is

if anyone is interested those keys are $35 and $25 for delivery if anyone was interested in a group buy?
