    My 488 keyfob rattles when you shake it. It's the metal physical key in the slot rattling.

    I would have though I would have remembered this if it was always this way, but I could be wrong

    This bugs me and is annoying. Is yours this way? My 2nd key rattles to, but seems like not as much.

    Maybe yours has always rattled too and now I ruined everything for you as you will notice it now

    Mine both rattle and sound equally cheap. Not really what you expect for a car like this.

    I rattle when I shake too. Old bones, most bolted together the last 21 yrs.

    take it apart and make sure the battery is securely seated in the cradle. You may have to adjust the tension clips that hold the battery in place

    Mine rattles too if I shake it just right. If I touch the end of the inserted manual key, it stops rattling.
