2013 GMC Acadia - you may need to adjust the contacts

Outstanding value! Great fit, but.On my 2013 Acadia, I did need to adjust the + contacts of both remote modules to make a good battery connection. I replaced the shell cases, and at first, both remotes would not work. By carefully bending the contact for the edge of the coin battery, both remotes work fine. CAUTION, it is very easy to tear off the battery contact from the circuit board! Only a slight adjustment was needed to make a good contact with the battery.VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS!

Pros
  • seamless functionality after I reassembled making sure the buttons lined up
Cons
  • Bought this on purchased Feb 25, 2022. They worked the first time but now work when it wants to.

Won’t fit 2013 Acadia

Doesn’t fit a 2013 Acadia. Internals are slightly larger. Also, even if they fit I’m not sure tha battery would stay at n place. The picture clearly shows a cast in ridge to hold battery in place hwhich is what the original part has. But there is no ridge on the replacement part so battery would not stay in position. See attached photo. Customer service at Keyless Option was no help.

Pros
  • A little hard to open but worth the money
Cons
  • Did not work after replacing insides from old cracked one.

Looks identical - but it’s not.

The items arrived well packed and in good condition. Problem is, neither of them worked. The parts fit together, with the components inside, but neither work remote worked. When I put the parts back into the original shell, all the buttons worked fine.

Pros
  • Made my old broken remote look and work like new.
Cons
  • No instructions provided for DIY installation

Did not work with 2015 Acadia Denali

Did not work at all, tried both casings. Replaced back into my old casing and worked just fine. The casing must be a different size and doesn’t allow for contact between the board and battery. In the end was able to use the new back with my old top casing and old buttons. Highly disappointing.

Pros
  • Worked just great for my needs
Cons
  • Lack of color options for the key fob shell

Didn't work more often than it worked.

Inner mechanics of original vehicle key fob didn't fit well in this fob shell so connection was not good. Keyless entry didn't work more often than it worked making the shell useless.

Pros
  • It worked for our Chevy Tahoe 2013
Cons
  • Used these to replace broken plastic on Buick key fobs. Now keyfobs don't work

Partial OEM replacement

Great replacement based on appearance to OEM fobs. But.after putting in the circuit boards and new batteries the fobs worked intermittently. I have to constantly, and carefully, bend the small metal tabs that secure the battery so that there’s contact to make the fobs work.

Pros
  • Value
Cons
  • The lock and unlock buttons on the shell often get stuck

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Do not buy. They don't work well at all.

These things are pieces of crap. They are not worth the trouble. They didn't work when we initially installed the panel inside them, so we replaced the batteries. If you hit it on something, they'll work for a little while, but who wants to beat a key fob on something when you need it? Don't waste your money on these.just buy the real ones.

Pros
  • The product works great
Cons
  • Expensive compared to other replacement key fob shells

2015 Chevy Traverse keyfob shell replacement

I got these to replace the keyfob shells in my "new" 2015 Chevy Traverse. Initially, the buttons would work then wouldn't. So I deducted that the 4 contact points with the battery weren't touching. I put a solid 1/2" glue dot in the center of the ring; that didn't fix the issue. Maybe the glue dot wasn't thick enough. I put another glue dot on top of it; it didn't work. Ugh.So, I cut a new glue dot in 4 parts and put it over and around the ring. That did the trick, yay! Also, this meant…

Pros
  • Excelente producto y fácil de instalar
Cons
  • The key fob didn’t even line up when you put the battery in

Doesn't fit and photos misrepresents what you receive

Useless. As others have described, the photos don't match what you get. A critical piece is the back plate which contains battery stops to hold the battery in place. The pieces I received, neither had 'em Just a plain flat plate. Battery slides inside.Also, the circuit bd.from the original fob does not fit inside. It's slightly larger than the shell and therefore the bd would not sit inside correctly without shaving the edges to fit.Returned the package for refund.BTW, I bought it for my 2012…

Pros
  • Great deal.
Cons
  • The remote key fob shell is not waterproof and not suitable for rainy weather

Not dependable on my review.

This product seemed easy enough but i dont know if something is loose because i always have trouble with the new one. Very often i have to open it.

Pros
  • Looks like the original. Good price.
Cons
  • Difficult to open and replace with the old remote key

I ordered these for my 2008 GMC Acadia. I switched the circuit boards from my old remotes into the new cases and neither worked. I put the old ones back together and they both worked again. I moved back to the new cases and they still didn't work. I decided that there must be some problem with the back piece not allowing the battery to make contact with the circuit board. When I put the new plastic front and the button pad on the old back, they worked!Now I have new looking front plastics and…

Pros
  • This is a replacement part to match the original in form and function
Cons
  • The shell's manufacturer produces non-standard sizes

A snap to use and unbelievable price!

So easy to transfer the insides of our broken ones to these. Works great. Looks pretty much the same. We had two break within a few days of each other. The car dealership wanted over $300 for two new ones. A locksmith wasn’t much cheaper! This was such a huge savings!

Pros
  • NA
Cons
  • Ink wore off in less than a week.

Keyfob for Chevy Traverse

The only thing that I see as a negative would be, the battery prongs do not touch the battery properly, and at least 3 times, the key fobs would not work. I would have to bend the prongs out so that the battery would make a proper connection to allow the key fobs to work. When they are working, they work great!

Pros
  • Great replacement for our OEM key fobs, work perfectly!
Cons
  • Pads won’t make contact with transmitter board junk

Works great! for my opinion

Had two FOBs for my 2012 GMC Acadia with cracks that were causing the front and backs to separate. Quick easy replacement for the cases. Work great.

Pros
  • Perfect
Cons
  • Won’t work tried both remotes w a brand new Duracell battery and both stop working after one day

Excellent product. for my opinion

For an after market product it fit purfect. A little effort to put it together, but happy because it has a very tight fit Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Saved me from buying a whole new unit. Perfect for what I needed.
Cons
  • The key fob shell is too thick, making it difficult to fit into a pocket

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Lower quality than expected

Had to place tape behind battery to enable contact.paint has work off.the buttons pretty quickly. Not quality expected.

Pros
  • Easy, fast installation. Came with batteries.
Cons
  • The buttons on the key fob shell get hot when used for extended periods

Trying the adjustment is worth it for $10

The issue that I had is that the battery moves around and it should hold firmly in place. It only cost $10 so I took a chance on tweeking it. I’m adding a quick video to help you out with it, it’s my first time leaving one so bare with me. The two tabs that I mention in the video needs to be bent towards the battery to hold it snug and to make the control board connect right. You should know if you tamper with the product you cannot return it so be aware of that. It was a simple adjustment so…

No-Brainer - my new review

Matches original in size, shape, and material. OEM guts fit perfectly, battery is well-secured in the case. Halves fit tightly, with rubber seal sandwiched in between. All buttons work. Saved serious cash over dealership cost. Order two, and you'll be laughing all the way to the bank!

Pros
  • Exactly what I needed!
Cons
  • Poor fit resulting in the buttons not working correctly

Would not work as stated!

Unfortunately they would not work on my 2013 Chevrolet Traverse as stated. Depth of unit is larger and when you depress the rubber membrame they do not make contact with the circuit board. Unit is useless to me, would not purchase this again.

Pros
  • ‎KeylessOption
Cons
  • The remote key fob shell is too bulky for people with small hands

Good for a week!: my feedback

I replaced both my remotes with these cases and put a new battery in each. After a few days the first quit working and shortly after so did the second. Batteries tested fine and was told that the cases don't line up well with the factory GMC insides.

Pros
  • Great buy
Cons
  • The shell's opening mechanism doesn't work smoothly
