Busted key fob case

[Net4n6]

After 30 min of searching and googling, I found this thread. Mine fob's "ring hole" broke. I couldn't find a replacement cover anywhere.

Yeah, easiest way of fixing this with the RS3000 system is to get a new remote from mykeylessentry on ebay. I got one and it works great. It doesn't look as "stylish" as the original but at least it can withstand a drop, and it's only $15.

I drilled a fishline sized hole through the keyfob and then went to a jewelers shop. Bought a thin lined key chain attachment that has worked ever since.

If your fob is the style jij posted above (my 2002's is) you can get a replacement case from Autozone made by Dorman.

They don't make one for the 4Runner (that I can find on their website - www.MyKeylessRemote.com) but they do make one for a 2002-2006 Camry that is identical except for the small inner ridge on the bottom of the fob. Part # 13614, it's $15.

You will need to Dremel away the ridge on the inside back cover where the battery holder is attached to the circuit board (it will be obvious to you once you put the circuit board in the new back cover) but that only takes about 5 seconds.

They even had the button battery (CR 2016) so in 3 minutes I was all set with a brand new fob.

I got this tip from Mountain in another thread but tought I'd post here as so many are asking.

I just got mine in and they were a direct swap over, no modding needed. They look almost identical to the factory one and were $13 for a pair. Swap over was less than 30 seconds and they work great.

I got my replacement three button remote from wireless-now on ebay two years ago, and it works perfectly.

Looks like they are even cheaper now ($19.95 w/ free shipping) and the empty shells are $8.95/ea or two for $13.95.

For anyone still looking for a fix on this issue, I made a case for the Land Cruiser guys that should work on the 4Runner fobs as well.

Check out this thread on 'mud for more info on it and see the video link below as well.

How about drilling a new hole in it and using a miniature little shackle?

FYI, I just released the 4 button remote case with titanium for the keyring and a nice band up the sides. This is the longest lasting remote case you'll ever see for these remotes!

Is there any way to aquire the OEM case without the motherboard stuff inside it? Mine still works but I need to carry the remote separately.....

I'm OCD, I like the Toyota signature on the remote.
