Just got this online. Fits well and works perfectly. Fits more comfortably in the pocket and looks swish.

Yep....I bought 6 of them a while ago.

I found that if I simply transferred all the electronics and buttons it made for the best results.
The buttons it came with were a bit flimsy and tended to stick.

Also I removed the key from the plastic case to make it easier for the locksmith to cut.

Even then I still had to put it side by side with the original and I used small file to trim the very back of the metal key to make it turn easier.

Apart from that it works well and looks great.

I bought a pair - no problems

Removed blade for cutting and ended up at upmarket locksmith for cutting - "Mr M" said too complex / accurate for his machine, so I had nor problem whatsoever with cutting accuracy

I also used original buttons after a bit of fine sandpaper to ensure no burrs on new casing

Very happy with them - less holes in pockets etc!

Best part is the most common failure with these keys is the eyelet for the key ring breaks as it is only plastic.

these new ones are much more robust in that area as that part is made of metal.

I have resolved that with other remotes by filing 2 small grooves and sandwiching an O-ring in lieu

The flexible O-ring seems to last a lot longer!

I guess it varies where you go. I didn't need to remove the key blade and my the buttons that come with it feel of a hard durable plastic but we will see.

The one I bought off E-Bay works really well, dismantled it took it into Mr Minute $7.95 later I had a cut key that fitted straight away.
I had to modify the casing slightly to get the transponder to fit but other than that no problems.
