oK, here is the link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

Absent info on the pro/cons of this seller/product ect., I negated the link to avoid potential issues later on

But if you want to take the plunge - go for it. Feedback would be welcomed. Was just hoping somone else already had.

I bought one...shipped relatively quick and its a great product.

The only thing that really sucks is getting they key out...the retaining pin is really stuck in there and if you mar it up at all its a pain to get into the new one cleanly

Great thanks Fox !

Any chance just cutting it out of the old fob would keep me from messing up the pin ?

if you're good with a dremel or soldering gun with a blade, have at it. I was impatient and didnt have my dremel at work Plus I'm debating doing devious things with my old busted piece

it comes in from china and requires a signature btw...i had to pick mine up at the pot office...just a minor inconvenience.
