swapped old bentley key into new style key.
the guide on vw forum to do vw key into bentley key didnt help me that much there was some wrong info on how to split the new bentley key and what size torx bits needed, i did a lil damage on new key, but not bad for the first time. screw buying a new key from bentley and programming it! used my spare key and swapped it into my new style ebay special! new style key does not have panic button, on vw forum they state the rfid chip or whatever its called, i think in the bentley keys its built into the main board. car starts i have not driven it yet tho with the new key.

yes this is the first step and you always damage a little bit of plastic when you do this. you cant avoid it. you can try and use 2 small flat heads to pry it open to acess the battery, but thats just the first step.
then you just have to remove the chrome peices, first the one with that the key sits in, then the other side cover, its a nightmare to get these chrome peices off, almost gave up a couple times. i had to use a small sharp flat head and wedge it in between the plastic and the metal housing to get under and pry it up, its a real pain the ***.
after that you just swap internals and swap key blade and re-wind spring [took 10-15 mins to figure how to do that out, but its pretty simple and put everything back in reverse order.
it uses a t4 torx for the 2 small screws.
to pull apart the old style key you have to pop off the glued on bentley logo, there is a philips screw under this, after you remove the battery cover .

100% original key, it was used and programmed and had a cut key in it. i was just going to do a blade swap and try and re program it , but this costed me nothing and did it myself. maybe somebody with a vag com or a programmer can just reprogram the key? i heard the dealer wont touch a pre-programmed key from another car. not sure??
i would never trust a cheap knock off and the original key feels nice and heavy and its built really well.

I wish the key weren't so heavy and bulky. I love the look of it, just not the bulge in my pocket or the way it pulls my shorts down! If Breitling were to make a watch for Bentley that would also operate the doors and ignition, I'd be all over it like white on rice.
