Still looks cheap and Chinese! Would look better placed if used for an MG6

I stripped apart a focus one but I'm not skilled enough to desolder and resolder such tiny microchips!

To be honest if you are desoldering etc you'd really benifit from making an etshed circuit board, which is easy to do IF you have the right tools or a college that will help out....Sadly, i have neither anymore I did swap over the circuit board from my old fob to the spare as it is in better nick, and now use that with the spare key, so until i find a decent donor fob to abuse i think i shall stick to the key and fob method.....

Now i think about it, could we not use the layout of the circuits and the bits you push down and have someone make custome fit boards for the audi keys?
Now there's a thought, i may investogate further! All we need is the standard audi key circuit board size and then ask them to make it fit essentially. Make a few units, maybe sell them on here/mg-rover.org etc and they could be done on the cheap.... Now who do i still know that prints circuit boards and owes me a favour?
If anyone else knows of someone that can do that, let us know!

I was just going to see if there was any way to squeeze the two circuit boards in together, and use the microswitches on the audi/vauxhall fob. Hard to say how it would work without having the unit infront of me.
Reckon getting custom PCBs produce would be costly.

There are Honda and Vauxhall fobs that seem to have the same layout. Only difference is the lock/unlock are on the wrong sides!!

Yer I was looking at the Vauxhall but as you say they are the wrong way round.
Edit: Just seen your link, nice find. Thats prob the best option so far.

Yeah, with no painted lock/unlock, it's not that obvious. I don't even look at the fob when I press it!

Thing is, does the key blade fit our cars?
I have asked someone i know that fabricates car parts, sure i can find a link to their 205 Evo FWD build at some point, they said they'd look into it...
