Aftermarket Key Fobs

[Mr Pig]

I was thinking about freshening up my keys with new key fob bodies. Genuine Seat/VW ones are expensive but there are cheap aftermarket ones on eBay. Anyone tried them?

I did buy aftermarket VW washer jets years ago and they were rubbish.

I just bought a Silver Metal Trim for the bottom instead of the Matte Black plastic you normally get and that made a huge difference without having to buy new fobs

The rubber buttons are looking a bit sad though, that's the part I want to replace. Also, we have three sets of identical keys in the house so I wanted to buy the Golf keys, which have the chrome end.

I change the rubber pads on my both keys with this:

It is 100% same as the original one. After the change the key become almost new, the feeling is completely different

I just updated mine for my MK2 Leon, got them from a guy on facebook Custom Keyz. Really helpful guy especially when I mucked up my first key

Looks ideal! I see them on eBay so I'll buy them there instead. I assume they just clip in?

Yes the just pull out the old one, don't need to disassemble the key fob.

Cool. I've ordered four. Freshen up the other car while I'm at it.
