Remote key fob - replacement

I've got a Chrysler Neon 2.0 automatic (1996) and live in UK. My
remote key fob has worn out. Its currently sort of usable but the
button area where you'd press to on/off immobiliser has worn out.
Anytime, it'll seize to work!

I tried ringing London Chrysler dealer and they said they've stopped
selling the remote key fob on its own(for this car) and I have to buy
a whole new unit - control unit + remote fob. This will cost around
£150 + VAT and fitting. Total cost could be around £400.00. Chrysler
is ripping people off!!!

For cheaper alternative...

Please can someone suggest or help me to find a replacement and
wondering if anyone knows any web links or places that might do remote
key fobs for me.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Timpsons can do _most_ keys these days, give them a try first.

(unfortunately, they couldn't sort me with a VAG key)

Try another dealer. He ( London Chrysler) probably has a complete kit
sitting there and is trying to get you to buy it. Check Ebay for remotes. I
don't know about Ebay.co.uk, but Ebay.com always has remotes on sale. They
work too! I have gotten two off of there.

Try ebay - fobs are auctioned there all the time.

We have this key fob in stock, there is the part number for your fob if you
want to order it from a dealer in London.

Is it not known as the "Dodge" neon in the US?

In 1996, it was sold as either a Plymouth or a Dodge. But what has
that got to do with buying a replacement fob?

It might affect what you ask for.
I know that I mentione dthe Chrysler Neon to a friend in the US and after
much thought
he said "oh yeah you mean the Dodge".
