The Jaguar emblem on one of my key fobs is missing. I've considered buying a used key and reprogramming, but DANG they are expensive.

I wonder if anyone knows if I can just get the button or the emblem. Is it a sticker?

Attached is a picture with the fob that has the emblem.

 

It wears down from being pushed to open the key.
Cheap keys from China are available

 

Looking on Aliexpress or Ebay, the Chinese ones don't appear to have a growler.

 

Thanks, all. I found the cheap ones, but I want the growler logo. I just need the button replacement, if that's even possible.

 

The Chinese are super-sensitive about showing the growler. The one I bought, I thought the growler was blank. Then after a few months, I just happened to pick at the button. Soft plastic cover fell off, and underneath.... a growler!
It was the same with those door puddle lights. They wouldn't show on line what the Jaguar graphic was. But when they arrived they were excellent.

It's only a graphic, not an intaglio, but looks and works ok.

Perhaps you could use the emblems that are on the aftermarket valve stem caps?
The original emblem on the fob is 10mm, not sure what size the valve cap emblems might be but might be close.

 

When I bought my MY2004 Super V8 in 2018, both key fobs did not have a growler. In 2006, I had noticed the same thing with the key fobs of an X356 that was just 6 months old, no growler.

On the other hand, I saw that most of the key fobs of the S-Type have the growler as shown in the first picture of the thread, so what I did was to buy some used S-Type fobs via ebay and replace the part. As it is not a sticker, but integral part of the part holding the key blade, it is a bit of a tricky job.

There was a thread in the forum about "Unlocking the secrets behind the Jaguar Key Fob", where you can get tips about how to dismantle the key fob.

You could just switch the metal key portion.
A small pin holds it in place

Expensive for a sticker, but... Jaguar! THANKS!
