The plastic case has broken on my VTS keyfob.

The electronics inside work just fine but I'd like to replace it.
Can you get replacement of the case from OPC or from Cobra?
I have a feeling that the only option will be a new fob with re-programming and a couple of hundred quid fee.

Been looking at laternatives, bought some SD card cases but they were too small.
I think a playstation (the first one) memory card case would be just right. Wish I had kept those.
 
A CF card case ? At least the PCB is self contained --- even down to the battery connections !
 
Thanks Chris, think I will try a CF case if no joy (or too expensive) via Cobra/OPC. It used to be wrapped with the visitor sticker you get from the factory but at the moment the fob is held together with sellotape!
 
The OPC normally have the VTS fobs on the shelf, I seem to remember that they unit wasn't that expensive- but the programming was!! Being as you don't need the programming, then it might be worth popping down to your local dealer..?
 
Get this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Porsche-VTS-Vehicle-Tracking-System-Card-/310651391033?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item4854440c39 and just swop the internal card over which is simples? I don't use mine any more but I feel I need to hang on to them for when I sell the car! (if and when[;)])
 
Reprogramming can be done directly with Cobra ... because up to six ? cards can be registered but all must be programmed at once and with a good mobile telephone connection. I know because following a battery change one of my three cards failed to be recognised and all three had to be reprogrammed into the system. I should add that Cobra were extremely helpful ...
 
dammit, I missed that ebay listing!! never thought one would be on ebay nevermind two! asked at OPC today when I was in past they haven't gotten back to me yet but from that ebay listing it looks like £25.
