Here's a photo of the black plastic, version 1. The texture is interesting; very gritty. I'm not complaining as this is light years better than the useless surround on the stock fob. I'd be curious to try the metal at some point.

 

Just saw your post. Wow white is super cool and modern looking....now I regret ordering black!

 

So much better. Took a bit of work to get the cover to snap into place but it does fit and looks great. Huge improvement.



Huge thanks to the creator of this.

 

Here's one of mine after a bit of sanding and a couple coats of paint.

 

I would like to see pics of the version 3 cover and fitment comments when available please.

 

Ordered a couple today - appears that the $10 off first order discount is no longer valid.

 

Version 2 here.

 

Mine is delayed... USPS apparently trying to reschedule delivery.... patience.... patience...

 

Yep. Mine was supposed to be delivered yesterday too. Maybe Monday...

 

Just got home to a Shapeways box :thumbs:

Love it Love it! Thank you!

(How can I tell if I have Version 1 or 2?)

 

V1 = $7.50
v2 = $10.00

 

The Service Key reader reads the round fob section and it's docking shape is same as the radio remote part. Maybe they would have to hold it in upright position while its read.

 

The last time I took mine in for service I had taken the big round piece off already. I don't remember them having any issues with the reader.

 

They didn't and they don't care. See the unit can't actually sit in there without falling so they hold it in place anyway. Plus most techs love car mods anyway, even if the advisor hates them.

 

That looks lovely!

 

Mine came today. I'm a happy camper.

 

We have the same colors

Was it easy to put in?

 

Yep. Just follow the directions as shown on an earlier page.

 

V2 is a perfect fit. It slides in straight just like the oem cover

 

My orange one arrived today, love it!

 

Got mine. They are great.

 

They look so great!
I'm kinda bummed that I ordered a V1. Anyone have both? My v1 will show up any day so I 'll take it for a spin and can always order a v2!

 

Thanks!

 

Got my V1s today and I don't see any issue with them

 

very very pleased to see these pictures...the coloring is great

FOR ALL,
if you want to remove the v1's do NOT pull at the end.
It will snap off the most delicate part of the fob.
Instead slightly lift the middle flat part out of the key and simultaneous move the end towards the round part out of the key ( where the open button on the key is ).

I have removed mine now about a hunderd times because of testing and redesigning , and its still ok. Perhaps even better because it really snaps in now with a nice "click" sound.
