New Key Fob Shell/Rubber (Buttons Worn)

[midwestdenaliguy]

Anyone know where I can find an OEM (or high quality) replacement shell for our key fob? I've got the fob with remote start, lock/unlock, and alarm - it also has the chrome metal sides. I don't need the internals, just looking to replace the worn rubber piece for the buttons. All the ebay and Amazon options get bad reviews for the buttons wearing off quickly. The only OEM options I can find are brand new fobs with internals so the price is way more than what I want to pay just to have visible buttons again. My dealership says they can only order the entire new fob, no separate parts. Any leads are appreciated, thanks!

I ordered one from amazon. It has lasted for a while but definitely has signs of wear and is time to replace again[emoji2363]

Very cool! Looks like high quality stuff that might not ever have to be replaced. Would also fit right in with my shooting bag/equipment.

Yeah, I've been on the fence about getting one for  a while.  Probably going to pull the trigger now!  This link is better than the other I posted as it has all the colors.

I second this. I just got mine last week and it is pretty slick. Many customization options to fit your style. It is super high quality and I feel like it can take some abuse for quite some time over the cheap plastic OEM key fob. Also probably cheaper than OEM but I have not looked for OEM replacement.

What color combo did you go with?  Pics?

Glad you like it. The only OEM shells I can find are used and none of the buttons are in perfect shape. Plus they want $25-50 for them, at that price point I might as well go with this AJT fob. New OEM fob is $132 from my dealer, not happening just for new rubber buttons.

Black with red bolts to match my Redline theme. I thought about doing red buttons but figured it would be too much red based on some google pics I found. I wish there was an option to at least choose a red panic button without having to buy the extra button set, I really only wanted the 1 button. Maybe I will email AJT and suggest that as an option to include a red panic button.

Nice!  The only thing preventing me from ordering is I can't pick a scheme lol.  Anyway you can order an extra set of buttons in red..I think.

Exactly. The used ones probably have the same problem as mine - the backing of the buttons cracked and split so it was going around the buttons on the circuit board and not always getting a good press. Unlock and Start were my problem buttons so of course, can never unlock the truck or get remote start to work reliably on the first press. Haha.

You can but it's a full set of buttons for the fob. I just want 1 button but at least it's only like $4 so if I really want to I'll just bite the $4.....I'm happy for now.

I just sent them an email asking about the red panic button

 

 

Update:  They won't do it.
