I deleted my previous post, and here is the updated one.

I received an intelligent fob key different from the ones first posted. I believe its the same as Strtsk8r321. In order to make it work, I took the buttons off the intelligent key's circuit board, and glued it onto the modified circuit board. The buttons fill the gap, and make it work. I also discarded the rubber part shown on the far right because it causes the case to be too bulky and very difficult to close. Here are pics!

And thanks to Strtsk8r321 & Red_G35 for helping me out.

I have an extra fob key shown at the very bottom for sale. I posted it in the classifieds...

Is there anyway to tell which Intelligent key fob internal design that you will be getting? Or is it just luck of the draw?

It will still work, you just need to use a slightly different procedure, a few of the other guys have done it successfully
