A local resident called us in July complaining that their Toyota Camry key fob completely stopped working. The car wouldn’t unlock, lock, or respond to the panic button. They said it happened suddenly after leaving the key fob in their car during a shopping trip to Yas Mall – about 3 hours in 48°C heat.
When they brought the key fob to us, you could see the plastic housing had actually started to warp slightly. The battery compartment was so hot it melted part of the internal circuit board contacts.
First thing we did was open up the key fob to check the damage. The battery was completely drained (heat kills batteries fast), but worse than that, some of the tiny soldering points had actually melted from the extreme temperature.
We couldn’t just replace the battery – the whole internal circuit needed repair. Took us about 45 minutes to:
Clean off the melted plastic residue
Re-solder the broken connections
Replace the damaged battery contacts
Install a new high-quality battery
Test all the buttons multiple times
Key fob worked perfectly again. Total cost was 120 AED instead of buying a new fob from Toyota for 650 AED. We also gave them a simple tip: keep your keys in your pocket or bag when parking in summer, never leave them in the car.
The customer came back 6 months later for a second key copy – said the repaired fob was still working great.
This one was stressful. A guy called us around 9 PM saying he lost both his BMW X5 smart keys somewhere at Al Reem Island. Had no spare keys at all. Car was parked at his apartment building and he couldn’t even get inside it, let alone drive anywhere.
He was pretty panicked because he had work the next morning and BMW dealer said it would take 4-5 days to order new keys. Plus they wanted over 2000 AED for two new smart keys with programming.
This type of job is tricky because modern BMWs have serious security systems. Can’t just cut a basic key – the whole computer system needs to accept the new keys.
We drove out to Al Reem Island that same evening with our programming equipment. The job took about 2.5 hours total:
Car worked perfectly with both new keys. He could lock, unlock, start the engine, everything exactly like before. Total cost was 850 AED for both keys including the emergency evening service call.
BMW dealer would have charged 2000+ AED and taken almost a week. He was back to work the next morning like nothing happened.
A family went to Saadiyat Beach for the weekend. Kids were playing in the sand, everyone was having a great time. But when they got back to their Mercedes C-Class, the key remote wasn’t working at all.
They figured out later that their toddler had been playing with the car keys in the sand. The key was completely filled with fine beach sand – you could actually hear it rattling around inside when you shook it.
Key would still turn in the ignition (barely), but none of the remote functions worked. Couldn’t lock or unlock the car remotely, trunk button didn’t work, panic alarm was dead.
Sand damage is actually pretty common here, especially the super fine sand we get at Abu Dhabi beaches. It gets into everything and acts like sandpaper on delicate electronics.
The fix required complete disassembly:
Carefully opened the key housing without damaging anything
Used compressed air and special tools to blow out ALL the sand
Found that sand had scratched some of the circuit board traces
Cleaned the battery contacts (sand had corroded them)
Replaced the damaged battery
Used special electronics cleaner to remove sand residue
Put everything back together with proper sealing
Remote worked like new again. All buttons responded perfectly, range was back to normal. The physical key blade needed a bit of polishing where sand had scratched it, but that was easy to fix.
Cost was only 85 AED for the complete cleaning and repair. New Mercedes key would have been 400+ AED from the dealer.
We also showed them how to better protect their keys at the beach – ziplock bags work great, or just leave the keys with one person who stays away from the sand.
