A remote entry transmitter (20) is formed to have a housing element made by a two-shot molding technique. A plateable (40) and a non-plateable (39) plastic are molded in the two-shot molding technique. Circuit trace (36) material is then plated onto the plateable material (40). This results in a reduction in the number of separate parts for the transmitter. In addition, an antenna (34) is positioned on a non-parallel surface relative to a main circuit board (30). This results in packaging efficiencies and improvements. Preferably, the antenna may be plated onto an inner side wall of the housing when the two-shot molding technique occurs. Alternatively, the antenna may be provided as a separate board.
