Whats the status (is there one) on the 80 series?
I ordered one for my 100. I've had about a month and love it.

status update on the 80 series?

Haha, that's awesome. Merry Christmas!
Ah yes, I can relate. My PO keys were electrical taped and glued together. He said he gave up on the remotes long ago and had been using the back up transponder keys for years and years. Hopefully you were able to switch the remote out without trouble.
Thank YOU!
The 80 series is on hold while I work out some kinks in the design. I've got a functional design, but frankly it's not up to the proper quality level yet. @UCLAcruiser is the guinea pig and he found a few problems right off the bat. I have a revised version ready, but I'd like some additional feedback from him to make sure I get it right. You guys deserve something that'll last and feel as sturdy as the 80 series. My first rev is more like an early 90's, 2WD, Ford Ranger. Ew.
Please bare with me. It should be worth the wait!
I do NOT have the buttons (or remote) available. There seem to be many posted on Amazon and eBay so I would try finding something on there.
Very cool, thanks for the kind words.
See my reply above. It's at a snail's pace, but it is coming sometime soon. I need to improve a few things on it before it's ready for you guys.
I just ordered 3 of these (2 to TN, 1 to CO). Looking forward to ditching all of our broken keys. Is the white still an option? I might have a need for a 4th key shortly and would be interested in doing a custom dye job if white is available.

Very good, I see your orders and expect to get your parts shipped out early next week. I do have white available (2 on hand right now), but it is not listed for sale at the moment. If you want a white one, let me know and I'll send you an invoice for payment.
FYI, some dyes struggle to bond with the plastic. If you try it, be sure to use something strong (I hear acid based dyes work well) or just expect a dull finish. I still have the professional print service do my dying because they get far more color than I could get when I tried to dye a few.
Thanks for your support!

In regards to making these for the 80 series, in which I would be interested. Have you given it any thought to making them in a similar fashion, as the 100's in that they are separate from the key?
Thanks

Thanks! Should be shipping out shortly.
As far as I'm aware all the 80 series fobs were already separate from the keys. Was there an 80 series version that had the remote integrated into the key?

Mine is integrated...
Hmm, cool!
Got a pic you can share? Or a google image link? If it was used in other models or if it's more popular in the 80 than I thought there may be enough demand for me to pursue.

Whoa. That's.... unique, haha. Here's some additional info on that remote: Securikey+ ELVAT6B 0014-S0274 0014-S0273 History, Information and Programming Instructions
I think that design could be drastically improved. That looks like a key for a jellybean car or something. I doubt the circuit board inside is that shape so I wonder why they went with that overall shape on the shell.
Anyone else have a key like the one above?

Put me down for an 80 searing two button. mine have been broken for years....it would be nice to have a fob again.
Got my orange fob in today! Had to break the old shell to get the guys out, because the screw was corroded and rounded.
Can anyone verify that this key will work with my 100?

Page 1 of this thread, supra says you need a transponder key. That's what he shows in his pictures. Did I misread that?
