Hi all I have read the forum in connection with key fobs and so far not found and answer..my key fob started losing its power and i thought it was a battery problem so i replaced it and it worked just great but again sadly started to fade to the point where a good smack against the door handle got it working but not any more...the numbers in my fob read like this 5WK4725/8686 on one part and 5WK48025 on another part so i do not know which number to use when trying to replace the fob..another question where besides the dealer can i buy one of these over the counter as it is starting to do my head in...thanks in advance

    Stop wasting your time in breakers and ebay. Go to an autolocksmith. Cheaper than the dealer+ you'll end up with the correct item that works.
