I ordered the V1 when they came out. It's something 3rd Gen people have been trying to find a solution for since the car came out. I don't know why Mini made the fob so much bigger than the one for the R56. (the car's not the only thing that got bigger) Anyway, a guy in Netherlands, J. deVries came up with the design, sent it to a manufacturer (3D Printing company), and posted his results on the other site. I ordered two right off the bat. The V1 was $7.50 and with a coupon I got two of then shipped for $9. Couldn't be happier. Now it doesn't seem like I'm carrying a frisbee around in my pocket.

Looks like that fellow did a nice job on designing and making those..... And at a price point that's much better than genuine MINI....
Are you still happy to meet people when carrying it in your front pocket? -
