Anyone tried the replacement/clone key fobs you can get from Aliexpress ?

I have one, not got around to coding it to a car. The tactile buttons are much better than the originals, the design is clean and the soldering is good.
However, the battery holder is really **** and badly soldered on so it looks like they are hand done. They also use a 1616 coin cell which has about 20% less capacity than the 1225 batteries in standard fobs.

Only long term testing will tell if they are really worth it.
