The plastic part of my Sigma alarm keyfob has snapped off. I recall vaguely a thread on how where to drill it, but I've done a search and cannot find it.

Failing that where is the cheapest place to get another one from?

Andy,
My fob button wore out (previous owner was a Doc = in and out of car all day )I found the dealers quoted the same as independant suppliers (+ or _ £5), but the independants would not be able to supply the Subaru sticker on the fob.
Opted for a £50 replacement at service time but was surprised when the bill came in at around £35.

Apparently £50 is what they charge to sell the part, add batteries and programme it into your alarm.
As a good will guesture my dealer dropped the programming charge, as its a 2 min job.
IIRC I sent you the manual on how to reprogramme new fobs etc, so I'd opt for a dealer supplied part without the programming.

You did, thanks.

Might get one from dealer then, but it might be a good excuse to get a new alarm with such goodies as remote start

Andy,
Not sure if you can split the fobs open.
If you can you could have my old casing (yep - I kept the old fob ) and put your internals / button in it.
Might be worth a try if your fobs beyond repair anyway.

Chris

 

I have split it open but was scared of where to drill, incase i nadgered it

The trouble is the hoop where its broken is part of the casing at the top.

Andy

 

Andy,
Does that mean my old fob will be of some use to you ?

Chris

 

If the button bit comes out, yep (cheers ). I'll re-dismantle and have a look.

Andy

 

Don't get your hopes up to much.
My buttons none existant, so you will need to be able to replace it.
When I tried to get it replaced I got the "you need a new fob" routine, but that could just have been sales banter.

Chris

 

(soz bout quality i took it on a £10 pocket digital camera LOL)

Which part of your button is nadgered? The rubber (oo-err missus) or the switch on the board??

Andy

 

I've just taken it apart further and found where to drill. If you wouldn't mind letting me have your casing though that would be great.

Andy

 

No problem.
Just mail me with the address you want it sending to.

Chris
P.s. Its just the rubber thats bust on mine.
I filled it with PRC from work but it didn't last.

 

YHM

Tis bubble wrapped and on its way.
