Same problem as everyone else that has a Darango. Battery clip solder joint breaks easily. Very bad design. Both keys failed., one key was hardly ever used and when first key broke, second key broke a few weeks later. One key had the left side solder joint fail and the other had the right side solder joint fail. As I work with electronic assemblies daily, I repaired the solder joints and replaced the batteries, but only one key started working again and only for a week. Will attempt to repair again.

The dealership wants $235 for a new key and to have the remote reprogrammed.
