I was told by friend that you could buy it for $24! from this site http://home.people.net.au/~polmex Seems to be very cheap. Wander if anyone ordered any buttons from them. Cheers

Pretty rude considering it's a 2 minute job!

I've got an entire box of keys that have never been used (spares off fleet vehicles that no-one bothered to match up to the cars when they went to auction. How about $20 per remote posted? I'll just cut the end
