Default Key Fob, 'Bentley Style'

I rather like this key fob, seen on a local craigslist XKR post. The seller says he bought it on eBay, and that he thinks it's called 'Bentley style'. Does anyone know anything about it?

It's been brought up before. The visual aspect is for the fob/remote. Then, the key stem has to be cut to your car (tibbe 8-cut) and finally, the proper transponder has to be fitted (megamos 48) and programmed to the car. There are inexpensive options on eBay for the parts, but you would ave to somehow do the tibbe cut and programming.

Media Bob,
I use one everyday....It works fine and looks good too! As fmertz sez; You have to do all this stuff to it to make it work.....First, you have to have it cut. Don't go to your Jaguar Dealer for this as you will be just adding to the total cost...After you get it cut, you will need to have it programed or it won't work.....Also, don't forget to take all your keys with you or the one you left behind will be useless...I had to go back and have all of them reprogramed again....BIG MISTAKE! By the time all this was over and I could use all of my Keys including my new Bentley Key Fob and Key, I had spent about $650.00 (BUCKS)…..Now, almost every time I pull it out of the Key slot....I hit the trunk button with my knuckle and the damn trunk opens! What a pain in the rear but I continue to use it.to remind myself how stupid a Man can be!

Good Luck!
