replacement keyless entry remotes!

Can anyone tell me if the replacements remotes for keyless entry that you can buy online are just as good as the ones dealers sell you at 3 times the cost? :confused:

and if so which online company is best to rely on?

I bought used ones from e-bay and never had any issues. Just use someone with a high rating. My 99 is shade tree mechanic programmable. I don't believe that's the case with the newer versions.

Yeah... it's easier to help you with a year and model of malibu ( some models use different FOB remotes).

I've gone to a wrecking yard - they often have a box of FOBs and will let you paw through them to find one. Just match the little numbers on the back, often a Malibu FOB can be interchanged with other GM products around the same year(s). Make sure the little numbers match and you'll be OK for a fraction of the price.

how do I post a new thread?
