Not really, just get some long nosed pliers in the gap and pry apart, it takes a little force but when it pops you will know....then get a flat head screwdriver and gently work round the case to pop it all open

This is VERY interesting@@That_spicy_rocco .. I didn't see this video till 'after' buying a couple of fobs from Aliexpress 🙁 The ones I ordered even have an RFID capsule but not planning on using that feature.. just access to my car. The Ali ones have a blank blade and wondered who would cut the blades (in situ I presume?) as I really didn't want to dismantle the blade and find someone on eBay that would cut the one I provided. Seems that not all blades are identical... live and learn) Did Timsons do the blade still attached to the fob, for you. Thanks for replying
