Disco 2 Keyfob Buttons

Yeah; curious how much that cost. It looks great, but I'm not working right now so money is super tight.

Super cheap, on eBay. Some people have said they are a little too long and its tight to turn the ignition. I bought 2, but have not done anything with them yet.

Goddess: I had to have mine cut twice, the first place, a reputable indy hardware store who seemed like they knew what to do... didn't.
Then after a few days with separate fob and key I found a key guy in a kiosk outside the DMV office and he took a look and said it was wrong and fixed it!! Now it works as easily as the original... so a bad cut can happen.
BTW I got a replica of the original off Amazon for $6.
Good luck!

The locksmith had trouble cutting the key, but somehow it still works in the ignition. I have a feeling he wasn't very experienced though. It's pretty easy to strip the heads on the screws that came with it, so I recommend picking up some nice stainless machine screws from radio shack to make the case rock solid. Overall, miles better than the stock fob. Oh yeah, and you'll also need a bit of superglue to mount some of the little rubber pieces inside the case.
If you're gonna convert I also recommend replacing the switches on the board from membrane switches to mechanical ones. I recorded a short video so you can see what I'm talking about.

Thanks cmmoyer for that information. One thing, though: the fob on the Amazon link does not have the LR emblem, only the recessed outline where it ought to go. Is there somewhere that I can also purchase the emblem to place in there, or is the one in Street Wolf's post from somewhere else?
