Default Red Panic Button on side of 2 Button Switchblade is toast... replacements?

Anyone sell a replacement button and/or better yet just a plug (I hate the worthless panic button, I just hit it accidently all of the time). Anyhow the button ripped off =-). I see at TT/A4 stuff they have replacement buttons, but it looks like they're just for the Open/Close Part, not the panic.

Does Audi/VW sell a "button kit"?

Default Ahh, the crappy one. Hmm, is there a part number on it you can reference?

I bet there is, and you can just look it up on Worldimpex for easy replacement.

Default Damn! Hell, I'd take just a piece of plastic.

Sadly I had two keys, one was pristine... Wife had it... (Never Drives the car... heh, heh). And well purse was stolen. That was always my "backup" plan.

If I picked up a replacement on ebay, what models can I get, will the ones with 3 buttons (Lock/Trunk/Unlock) Work? Or does the number have to be an exact match?

Has anyone found a replacement to the red panic button cover since this discussion took place?

Thanks!
