Thanks Mr Bill,lol
LOL, It is the alarm remote for your keys.
A fob is an object used to make manual access easier. It may refer to:

I contacted a Fob manufacturer this morning... they do sell just the case and the pad for 2001 and up... I am having him look into just the pads for all the C5 both first and second generation... there are about 500,000 fobs floating around out there for C5's in both first and second generation ( two fobs per car... I told him of the potential in marketing this because they already have the pads for these fobs and there is no need to purchase new molds for an existing part number.. its just a matter of marketing... I know the cost to manufacture is less than a dollar.. I can see them marketing two pads for 19.95... ( ten bucks a piece might get their interest, and i know everyone has a spare 20 bucks lying around... BTW , the manufacturer I contacted is a sponsor of this forum. He said he would get back to me....we will see

good work Bill....the panic button being red is no problem even if worn out, but the hatch release and lock/unlock buttons are the ones we all will need some day. My 97 is so old my fobs have way more wear than most owners, so it stands to reason it is inevitable for others. In summary, I need only the 3 gray buttons...if they offer a complete set of 4 for the early models that would be great....I would pay $10/set....there would be high profits in it for them at that price (as we both know the markups on automotive parts). Please keep us posted on any success...uda man!
