New Key Fob

I found an aftermarket jaguar key fob shell on ebay which does not have the jaguar logo embossed into it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/111380926764 This is perfect for all of us who want to upgrade the outer housing of our old aston/leather wrapped volvo fobs. I also attached a aston collar pin to the back of my fob

check it out .

Are you saying you put the old FOB internals into the new FOB??

Yeah the internal from the old aston key fobs fits perfectly into the shell available on ebay. Make sure you order a key insert with the shell. This allows you to fit a key ring onto the new shell. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-UNCUT-RE...575773&vxp=mtr

Hi, as the seller is not wishing to send out of the US would a member accept to order one or more of the remote case and send it to France,I will pay pay all expenses as a matter of fact.

Got my set delivered today: it's the one with the Jaguar engraving at the back.... [sigh] the eBay seller will take it back so I'll be sending it back to him: a very generous move by him since you can clearly see the jaguar logo on his advertisement page. I just got too exited when ordering.

It does mean though that I'm back at square one for the FOB (apart from the insert-key and logo).

@Chris: mind if I order a set with you as well? Would really appreciate that.

Just get creative and cover it with a strip of leather or Alcantara. No need to go through the hassle of returning it. When I made custom key fob a few years ago, I covered the Jaguar embossed logo back in blue Alcantara to match my custom interior. It looked great and very OEM. I'm sure you could do something similar.

That option has crossed my mind but I see no chance to nicely get it covered with Alcantara around the edges of the back. Furthermore, I like TS's logo ad-on which will make it a bit harder if the base is Alcantare or Leather I assume.
