The casing is about the size of the alarm fob, remember the circuitry from the cobra fob fits in there. Without much room to spare. The press to push is toward the apex bold, on either side of the divider to trigger each button.

I wish they had something like the Vdub-audi key thing, love the switchblade action.
A:
That's cool and all but I'd still have to carry my gas cap key.
A:
Hmm... you can get Audi keys/remotes uncut on ebay for $50.00, I wonder if they could cut a lotus pattern on them! I could transplant the module and wham! instant glam keys!
A:
Hmm... you can get universal uncut flips: see here:
I may just try this out!

It takes less than five minutes to pull the antenna wire out of the taped harness and get a 40-50' range. There's a huge thread about it here, and it's even easier than they make it sound.

Which is why it's so short to begin with. Apparently there's a big insurance savings in the UK if the car has such a "safe" alarm. This is also why they come with the automatic immobilizer re-arming turned on. (if you haven't turned that off yet there's a thread about that too. Takes maybe ten minutes.)
