What is OEM?

Why OEM Only?

We carry only OEM keys because they are of the best value. They are made of the most reliable, highest quality parts and have the longest life span.  

Most Reliable. Highest Quality. Longest Lasting.

As you may have guessed it from our brand's name, we only carry OEM Car Keys :) That means that at OEM Car Key Mall, we exclusively use genuine OEM electronics in all of the car key fobs we carry. So whether you drive a 2004 Toyota Prius or a 2020 Nissan Altima, you can be certain that the key fob you get from us is of the same quality you would get from a dealership.

Let's dive in deeper to learn more about what's OEM and why is it important.


What is OEM?

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. That means OEM parts are designed and made by the original companies who create car key fobs for car makers. That's why you get the same quality from us as you would from your car dealership and have been particularly developed for use with your vehicle. That's what makes OEM products the most reliable, highest quality, and longest lasting.

 

Why is OEM so important?

Non-OEM replacement parts are widely available online but provide much less value than OEM Parts:

Compromised Quality: Non-OEM are often made with cheap imported components, which makes them less durable, more prone to damage and breaking, and they tend to have shorter life spans.

Unreliable: Non-OEM keys are not guaranteed to work with your vehicle. They may not be programmable to work properly with your vehicle. On the other hand, you can trust that OEM parts will work reliably with your vehicle (for instance: an OEM Toyota car key comes from the manufacturer of Toyota car keys.)

 

How to make sure you buy OEM quality?

Look for the OEM seal or acronym: Retailers (like us :) who sell OEM parts are usually proud to announce that their parts are genuine OEM parts.

Don't assume a key fob is OEM just because it does or does not have an OEM seal on it: Make sure the company who claims to sell the OEM parts actually does so by looking at their reviews and privacy policy.

Be wary of any item being sold as a "Replacement Part": This generally means that it is a knock-off and not OEM.
