Blue parts A, B, C, D, are all new.
Can it be salvaged or do I need to get blue part A cut to match red part A?
EDIT
Or, another idea altogether:
- Buy a completely new lockset containing: 2 pre-cut keys with transponders; one lock barrel; one back plate.
Then do this:
- Ditch the new backplate
- Take the old lock barrel off the car's driver's door and fit the new one in its place
- Ditch the new transponders and replace them with the car's original ones
This plan might work for the driver's door but what about the manual lock on the boot lid (which would still have the original lock barrel)?

Knock the roll pin from blade A, then do the same with blade B, fit the plastic part from B to blade A, then knock the roll pin back in to secure it.
Then blade A will fit into case C
Make sure you transfer the PCF7930AS chip from the old key back to part D, ensuring before the transponder gets lost because you are using a cheap casing, to place a blob of blu tac into the casing where the transponder sits.
Then fit the remote board to case C, and clip rear case D to the case C part and ensure the remote pcb buttons both work, if not you will have to clean the moulding flash out of the casing to allow the buttons to work.
And if you get stuck, you can order one of
THESE and fit your electronics to the casing.
Is that any clearer for you?
