D2 Key Remote Case

[Skiboy]

The unlock button on both cases for my D2 key remotes are broken.
The remotes and keys work fine - I just need new cases.

At the moment I have to push my finger nail into the hole in the case to depress the little black button in the remote.

I suspect this will result in damaged remotes eventually.

Does anyone know where I can get replacement cases for the remotes/keys?
Thanks in advance

I have the same problem and I am searching for an answer too.

Have you had any luck?

[Skiboy]

Thanks Fraser - the ebay ones are for D3 - I have a D2
Maybe I should post a pic - I will go take one and post with this

[Skiboy]

So both my keys look like the picture in prior post - button fallen out and gone. SO have to work by putting finger nail into the hole and push the minute button.
Any suggestions on where to get a case or cheap replacement.
Thanks

Common problem as we all know, I just picked up a TV or Video remote control from the dump (or any control with combo large and small buttons) and with a blade set crafted out two new ones. Any remote with large area and height buttons from lifeline etc will do. Mind you its trial and error but you can end up with a secure fit. I did shave of the lettering too. Cost about a $1

Maybe this could be a temp fix as puttin the fingers to the button is fine but the sweat eventually does not to the circut tracks any good.

And if you have the carbon or graphite lug under the to be crafted button, just cut this off as is not needed in this type of remote.

Thanks Mousie
I will be trying this myself - this should get a pretty good result for no real cost
