This type of key fob was a hot topic here a while back. Try doing a search using the words "key fob" and it will bring up some topics on the one you mention.

I bought one from Southern Car Parts. Turned out it is way bigger then it looks in the pictures. Too big and heavy to keep comfortably my pocket.
Used it for a couple of weeks then back to OEM

It appears to be about twice the size and bulk of the VW keys. I owned New Beetle Turbo for five years that was my wife's car.
Total POS.
I didn't want a key fob that reminded me of a VW Beetle when I'm driving my Corvette. Life's too short.

wow sounds like a relaively hated product. I guess I should stay away. Any different "key caps" for us? Instead of the plain jane ones.
