The cost of a new keyless entry remote can vary depending on your vehicle and the type of key it uses. While some basic remotes are relatively inexpensive, smart keys with push-button start technology typically cost more. Programming requirements can also affect the total cost.
What Affects the Price?
Several factors determine the price of a keyless entry remote, including your vehicle's year, make, and model, the style of key it uses, and whether it contains a transponder chip or proximity functions. Some vehicles also require professional programming before the remote can be used.
OEM vs. Aftermarket
What's the difference between an OEM and an aftermarket key fob? OEM remotes are designed to the original specifications for your vehicle, providing the fit, functionality, and compatibility you expect. While aftermarket alternatives are available, many drivers prefer OEM remotes because they're built for their specific vehicle.
Ways to Save Money
Purchasing an OEM remote separately and having it programmed by a qualified local locksmith can often cost significantly less than buying both the remote and programming directly from a dealership. Since programming prices vary, it's a good idea to compare local options before making a decision.
