    I was caught up in the Enzo key craze soon after someone figured out that they could be cut to fit a 355, 360, 456, 550 or 575. I bought one and had it cut for my 360. It's now old and beat up but I've been using it for over a decade and it works perfectly. In fact, the day Ferrari announced that you couldn't purchase an Enzo key unless you gave them the VIN of your Enzo, I called around the found two more brand new keys at the Wynn Ferrari store in Las Vegas. They've been sitting in my closet, still shrink wrapped, for over ten years.

    I recently came across @gobble post in the Ferrari Parts & Collectibles section, "New all-in-one F430 style key/fob for the F355,360,456, 550 and 575!". I asked @gobble if he could "gobbleize" my Enzo key (convert my Enzo key to a 430 style key so I couldn't have to carry around that ball and chain fob), and, after looking at some close up pictures of my Enzo key (inside and out), he said, "Sure!". I just received the key and it is fantastic! It really is the world's first, and only electronic Enzo key.

    I cannot say enough good things about @gobble. His service has a quick turnaround, super reasonable pricing and the product works perfectly. I mean, who wouldn't want to do this??

    Totally agree @gobble is the man, he sorted my new 456M keys and fobs out right in my driveway. Cool guy too.

    Very cool key you have there !

    I still have the three fob set, but mine from Mark have lithium watch batteries so no changing batteries every 6-12 months.

    Nice improvement.

    We can now all take your car for a spin if you have an immobilizer delete. ;) (might want to blur some of the key if so)

    I still have my uncut Enzo key as well I have had for 15+ years. Also have an uncut plastic TR card key too.

    Is there a color shade difference between Gobble’s button side red vs. the original Enzo key red?

    It looks like it but not sure if it’s due to lighting.

    Remember that my key has been in use for over 10 years. It definitely needs a detail. Perhaps even a respray. I actually had a dream once that I was getting my Enzo key "wrapped" (like you would wrap the front clip on a car).
    I'll take out one of my shrink wrapped Enzo keys and compare.

    There probably is a little bit of a color difference. The side with the button is solid red plastic. The Enzo key is painted. Before I sold my 458 I had actually swapped on molded pieces to preserve the original key. The paint tends to wear pretty badly over time, just like the silver 360 key.

    I need to post that I'll be in Las Vegas/Palm Springs mid-October for my wife's parents 50th anniversary. Another fob trip to LA isn't out of the question.
