Does anyone have any experience of these replacements on Ebay which are a fraction of the price of originals?

 

No, but I bought a Saab remote for my XJ6 and it works. I think as long as the frequency is the same it doesn't matter where it originates, but if cheaply made it may not hold up.

 

I was thinking of something to chuck in the draw in case of emergencies rather than for everyday use.

 

They have been advertised on ebay UK for a very long time now so they must at least work!

I considered it as an option for my 2001 XK8 which only had one fob but eventually went for an 'as new' original (also from ebay UK) at £40 as they look so much more robust.

Howdy Folks:
I bought mine from them 12/2010 (~$25) and I cannot tell any difference (physical or electronic) from the original. I would not hesitate to buy another if need be. (both also work the same with Steve's Remote Top)

This is why did the edit after discovering the error of my ways. I thought JonWat had attached the iKEYESS ad that I clicked on. I should have typed in "edit" before my apology. I have not had any dealings with the sellers that he had in question.
