Been there with the broken thing. ended up never alarming the thing.
The easy options I toyed with were; to sew it into a leather fob with
cut outs for the buttons or epoxy it onto a plastic / metal plate and
reattach to ring. I sold the car before attempting a remedy as I rarely
used it, ergo I got a surprise when opening the car on those occasions.

Both mine have done that.
Are Texalarm still around ?
Don't forget that the fob uses radio signals, and a metal case would
stop them..

Subject: [Quantum Owners] Texalarm keyfob
Hi all,
My 2+2 is fitted with a Texalarm system which unlocks the car via a
keyfob but unfortunately the little keyring loop on the keyfob has
broken so it no longer stays attached to my keys. I'm so paranoid
about losing it (and leaving myself stranded) that I'm currently
checking it's still there dozens of times a day...
Inside it's just a very tiny circuit board so although I did a quick
google for a replacement outer shell for it (which came up with
nothing useful) I started thinking perhaps there might be a better
solution.
I've found a website called 'Shapeways' (www.shapeways.com) which
suggests that they can make pretty much anything, in a variety of
materials, based on plans you submit online. I don't have the
technical wizardry to do that but it did make me wonder if any of you
fine folks either know how to create such plans, or if you know of
another way to get something made. I quite like the idea of a polished
metal keyfob, perhaps with the Quantum logo as the lock/unlock button,
into which I pop my little Texalarm circuit board.
Any ideas, folks?
Matthew
