None that I am aware of - It would have to have the resistor pellet on the key someway somehow.

I just think the C5 has to live with the seperate remote

Thanks,Matt

Do you mean the keys with the fob built in where the key flips out with the push of a button? Yes. They are made. I think eklers carried them. I think I heard something about them not being popular and possibly discontinued.but I don't know. You had to buy the blank key and get it ground. You had to order the right one depending on the resistor pellet value.

This has been asked before and I don't believe there is anything.

How are you breaking these remotes? I've put mine through a lot and never a crack. It would be interesting to know how you did it.
