Review on πŸ”΄ KeylessOption Red Remote Control Key Fob Replacement - 4 Button Keyless Entry by Trey Michaels

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The programming guide was WRONG and incomplete! There are no paper instructions either.

Fast delivery, decent quality (almost OEM quality), batteries included! but the big disappointment here was the INSTRUCTIONS! They give you a business card with a website to look for a programming procedure, no big deal. The programming instructions were incomplete and therefore incorrect! I had to google to find out! I have a 2007 Ford Focus SE 4dr (North America/Gen1.5) and the procedure is: β€’ Close all doors, remove the brake pedal, park the car. Gather ALL the remotes you want to use with the car, INCLUDING the currently programmed remotes! β€’ Put the key in the ignition switch, turn to start and then turn off 4 times (working position is where the key returns after starting the vehicle, DO NOT START THE VEHICLE). ) do this after 6-10 seconds β€’ DO NOT leave the ignition on after the 4th on-off cycle! The car beeps from the instrument cluster. At this point, press any button on each of the remotes you wish to program, INCLUDING ANY PREVIOUS REMOTE CONTROLS YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TO USE. (Programming remote controls erases all previous vehicle programming, all Ford vehicles that can use this remote control will work in this way) Pairing! β€’ Complete programming. by starting the car and turning it off at will and testing each remote (moving the key to start or removing the key from the ignition did not exit programming mode and the remotes did not work until AFTER you started the car and then turned it off ) the instructions on the website specifically say to leave the ignition on for the 4th time which will not allow you to program the remotes, nor does it mention that programming new remotes will erase old remotes and therefore need to be reprogrammed if you want this use them! After following the instructions I googled, programmed all the new remotes in about 45 seconds, very easy. GOOD INSTRUCTIONS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!

Pros
  • This is a replacement part that is true to the original in form and function
Cons
  • Boring packaging
