Ok, here's some mods that made me keep my old remote and not dump money in another one...the remote was working fine , just the tab was broken so no need to discart it.
Here's what i did:
i gave it a smooth round shape...knife, file, sand paper...whatever works for you.

Next i cut a small slot on the sidewall ...i might have cut it too large...oh well...i had a plastic tab installed there but that broke as well so i opted for the string...more flexible...

next....find a piece of string...a tough one if you don't wanna loose youre remote ...my luck ....only thing i could find was yellow...haha....from a pair of glasses....yellow doesn't bother me so i went with it...the beauty of this mod is that you can chhange the color of your string...lol

make a loop in it, not too large...

the center of the remote has a screw that keeps it in place....you will be putting that loop around the screw and that's how it's secure.

put the back cover on, make sure your loop is still in the center and close it.
Install the center screw.

i saved you 50 bucks!now buy my parts on audifans so i can make it through next week!

My ring just broke so I hadn't thought too much about how to attach it to the key ring. My initial thought was to use doublesided tape to attach to my S-fest keyring fob, but that would have made it bulky.
