Thanks for the advice. Would I be able to get replacement buttons from somewhere like Jaycar? And if not where's the best place?
Cheers

Probably but you would need to take the circuit board in to get the correct one

I have a couple of genuine Passat keys in stock, if I remember tomorrow I can pull one of them apart and have a look as I most likely have the correct buttons for them too.

Sorry for the slow reply. Attached is one of the PCB's from an OEM remote that I have, if you look on Ebay for tactile buttons you should be able to find them as this type is common.

Might give this a go myself too Dom. Thanks for the link guys.

Just be careful removing the old ones as its easy to pull the traces off the PCB if not careful

Have had some interesting experiences when I used to repair and chip Playstations.

What's the tip then when trying to remove the old buttons and putting new ones on.
