    Looks like the red "panic" button has popped off of my Gen 2 key fob. Doesn't look like that button cover is sold separately anywhere so I was thinking of just buying a cheap replacement key on eBay and prying the red button off. Has anyone had any luck with that? Any other ideas for where I could find a replacement little red "panic" button for my key fob?

    THANKS!

    Sorry, not much help with that red button; it's a Gen 2, so I would view it as Karma coaxing me to the purchase of a nice new Prime!!

    You can get a replacement fob case with a new blank metal key for $13.00 on Amazon. You need to transfer the electronics from your old fob to the new case. It's not much harder than changing the battery.
