Smart Key Fob for BYD e6, e3 & Qin EV, OE 12972868-00

This smart key is classed as a restricted battery product, because a cell travels inside the unit. The delivery time is 15 to 25 days, from order to door. The route is the quote form on this page. Send OE 12972868-00 with your car details, and we will price the key and arrange a compliant lane for it before anything moves. Before you order, check the number on your old part against OE 12972868-00.

This part covers a broad spread of BYD model lines, and keys of this family look similar while differing in the electronics inside. So do not judge it by the shape of the case. Work from the fitment table on this page, matching your model line and build year rather than the badge alone. If your car sits at the edge of a model change, send a photograph of the old part and its label on the quote form on this page and we will confirm the match before quoting.

Not on its own. The code is normally inside the case rather than on the outside, so you may only see it when the shell is split. If the number you find matches neither, send it on the quote form on this page with your car details and we will check it against the fitment table. Keep the old smart key until the new one is fitted, in case the two need comparing.

The material is plastic, which is the moulded case that houses the electronics. It is supplied in new condition, so the shell is unworn and the buttons have not been pressed thousands of times. Nothing is stated about button layout beyond what the photographs on this page show, so compare those against your own key before you ask us to quote.

It is an interior item, which for a key means it works with the cabin side of the car rather than bolting anywhere on the body. There is no left or right position and no fixing point, because the unit is carried by the driver and read by the receiver built into the car. Nothing is removed from the vehicle to fit it. Any pairing work is done on the car itself, so plan for that with your usual workshop before you request a quote.

One line is listed, the Original/Genuine unit built for BYD, and no independent equivalent exists for this key. Keys carry coded electronics that have to talk to the car, so the supply of credible alternatives is much narrower than it is for a mechanical part. Rather than list something we cannot stand behind on fitment, we list the single line we can. If you have been quoted another reference elsewhere, send it on the quote form on this page and we will look at what it is.
