Camaro Keyfob Discolouration

Hey Guys,

I've recently been having some issues with my Keyfob's button color, they are turning from white into an orangish like color... I already do protect my key with a rubber cover and wonder if anyone else is having this issue. I also wonder if the a replacement is covered under warranty or they'll just cover the shell. I also noticed that the key range has kinda declined so I wonder if the whole unit is faulty...

Have you tried to change the battery regarding the range?

For the orangish color, the only thing I could think of is residue from whoever is touching the key

Chinese rubber cover? Caustic, perhaps toxic?

Keep it out of your front pockets.

why change the battery if GM warranty can give you a new keyfob, the only thing that I can think of doing is buying one of those key shells off ebay and installing them should be easy said

Left over Cheetos residue? They leave my fingers orange after I eat them, that once in a blue moon time.

I've had mine a year and a half and no discoloration, but the chrome fell off the Chevy emblem on the back side. Cheap yellow plastic shows now.
