if it isjust the buttons pad as your photo then they can be replaced, I bought a Silicon button pad on Ebay from a Aussie seller. easy to replace.

The silicon button were avail on the bay from an Aussie seller in WA,they also used medical grade silicon.
Like everything buy cheap, buy twice

I'm in need of new buttons for my fob, they aren't on eBay any more.. anyone got details of the WA seller? If not, any suggestions as to what to do? Buttons are getting harder to press, I don't want to be locked out..

Aliexpress is your friend with this stuff. Don't worry about the chip frequency just take out the chip from your old key and slot it in the new. That's what I did with mine, but I changed to the flip style key and they work a treat.

Thanks for this.
So looking at the second link, any of those will work?
And can any shopping centre key cutting service cut the new key?
