Default Alarm fob, rubber key ring part broken, replacement?

As title, i got to the car earlier in a blind panic as i took my keys out of my pocket and all i got was a car key and house key, no alarm remote but i swifty found it buried in one of my many pockets.

So ive just been onto Toads website and was told by a guy on the "live chat" thing that i cant get the rubber bit seperatly, i have to buy a new remote for £65, then it comes with a free rubber keyring i dont think so somehow.

Is there really no other way of replacing it?



As you can see theres no holes to add my own key ring

oh right, good stuff.

I will have to be careful when snapping open the case, i had a clifford years ago(never again) and when opening the case the battery holder snapped clean off the circuit board

Made a mistake, its actually a Laserline but in my defence it was installed in the car before i got it, and ive had the car over a year, never had to touch the alarm as its been faultless, hence forgetting

Anyway i got a whole new case sorted for a fiver direct from Laserline website(dont have ebay account)

With ref to the toad cases, these are available seperately, some funky fashion ones too, around £10, with the rubber bit, just swap the board out into the new fob.
