Default Need a Key Fob CASING replacement. help! Dx

so i was drifting my little brothers HPI E10 rc until it went out of control and went into a main road and got ran over by a rav4 going atleast 45mph. oh when i grabbed it from the road my key ended up coming off of my lanyard and got ran over when i went out and looked for it 45 minutes later.

You can order just the casing for one at the dealership it'll be around $15. I sadly don't work at the dealer anymore so I can't even give you part numbers I just know you can order the housing.

It's a small almost polygon piece. It's an all in one plastic piece surrounded by the housing. I had to replace batteries in them while I worked for Toyota.

If we're talking about the same thing.

nope the transponder is the actual puny microchip, the polygon thing was easy to get out.
its in the rectangle in the right of the key casing

Really? I've been using my spare (the housing for my transponder broke, and the key part actually FELL out. I didn't feel like spending $50+ just for a key.

If I can make it fit in the flip housing, heck yeah!

got a link to the particular one you used domoboiz/samcarroll?
