I saw a mod post on p-car about switching it to a key/key fob type BUT the part numbers and prices do not match at all i.e. I have been quoted around 80.00 for the parts.

Any ideas OR andyone with an extra key fob ( :

Thanks all.

Looking at my old invoice from August 2005 it shows:

993 618 959 12 Hand Remote Housing
944 538 041 00 Lighted Key Cap

Is your switchblade housing broken? If not, I'd like to take that off your hands after you do your conversion!

I picked up the key cap ( w. coloured crest) for ~$20 ... but held on the less complex case that holds the PC and battery transferred from the switchblade, quoted at $80.
I figured $80 should get me a completely new immobolizer .. so I could go nuts trying to program it ....

Been there.

My swithblade key broke, too. Costs to change to "old style" key fob:
Hand remote 993-618-959-12 $ 73.92
Lighted key head 944-538-041-00 22.32
Total $ 96.24

A week or so later I purchased a old, unused swithblade immobilizer on Ebay for $50 for a back-up. Got hosed on the new key blank from dealer $35.38.(Standard key blank ONLY $15.12!) Did the reprogramming on my own in about 5 minutes. Dealer wanted $140.00 to reprogram the immobilizer keys! Let me know if I can help.

That little housing now costs $80?

Yes it does from the dealer. I got a complete remote fob w/electronics (993-618-259-02) and a lighted key cap for about $105 from Sunset. I was finally able to program it myself after setting off the horn about 5 times.

So if I tooled up a little injection-molded housing that could sell for, say, $25, how many could I sell?

(In other words, could I sell enough of them to pay for the tooling!)

I got a complete remote fob w/electronics (993-618-259-12) for $46.20 and a lighted key cap for $13.95, with shipping the total was $70.11 from autopartsnationwide.

Nice!!!!!!!!!!11

Good find.

That is at least reasonable.

Thank you

Jukelemon

Sure my friend. It is not broken at all-just not my preference for the vehicle.

I ordered the conversion parts so shoot me your address and I will send the housing to you after I am finished. OK?
