Not yet, but was thinking about this myself. I need a spare key and also spotted that replacement fob. Would be a nice conversion, as the fob advert says it should take the standard circuitry board from the normal key.
I'll be giving it a go at some point, before hopping across the pond for some Tech2, but if you sort it first please let us know how it goes  :y

Martin Imber did 1 for me last year and it is still going strong :y

I bought a flip fob with a blank key shaft and got it cut from the carpass.Sent him the lot and it came back converted and works fine.

Personally I find the flip abit bulky in  my pocket so have used the old standard key mostly,but every so often I just use the flip for a change ;D ;)

I think the circuitry from the existing key should fit into the flip fob, along with the transponder. The blank key will need cut then to match the existing key.
Not sure if Martin's skills are required in every case?
Sounds almost too simple actually ............  ???
