I wonder if someone can make a mini car shape for the fob. Almost like a tesla key.

I got a message from Shapeway saying they may have a new code for Thanksgiving. If I hear anything next week, I'll let you know.

Update: They posted a discount code this weekend, but it only applies to your own creations. Sadly, it's of no use with someone else's designs. Just posting this because I said I would if I heard anything. :-)

Hi everyone.

Just wanted to thank you all and special thanks to @Devries for designing the key fob. I ordered 3 (red, white and black) and just installed 2 of them a few minutes ago. It's a huge improvement over the large OEM shell and they look great. The black one I put on my partner's key looks OEM, just better. I'm having second thoughts about the red one I used on mine, it's a rougher material but red didn't come in the material of the other two. So if I wanted to swap the red for for my smoother white shell, can they be removed without snapping them? I saw the installation post, but unless I missed it, I haven't seen one or removing them. I can live with the red, but I'd love to see what the white looks like in person. Has anyone successfully removed one and reinstalled it without damaging it?

Just stumbled across this and will be purchasing for my F60. Wondering if any discount codes still work?

I bought two some time ago for my now long gone F56. A quick look on thingiverse shows a clone of the OPs version. If you have a 3D Printer (or a good library), you could always print one yourself for significantly fewer doll hairs.

Do you guys know that in recent mini's i think somewhere around 2019 and newer have sleeping keyfobs, so they can't be copied anymore to simply open the doors of our precious cars by holding an antenna around our house and imitate standing next to car to simply steal the car or accessories. I tested this with my wifes new 5 doors hatch. I placed the key on the car and waited around 5 minutes. I tried first after a minute or 2, but it was still active, but after 5 minutes nothing happened when using comfort acces buttons on the door. Thankfully!! I get my countryman 2019 on Thursday, the salesman said it also has it. I hope so. I will test it Thursday. Does anybody know from when this was introduced officially?
