I realized a day after having had my car valet parked that my keyless entry fob was gone. Sadly, I'm one of those people who never uses my key and always use the remote - plus, it's a safety issue at night if I'm out alone. I managed to survive about 3 days without it before I caved and purchased these. I was concerned that they would be hard to program but the setup was super easy! My car is a 2005 Ford Freestyle, and although the listing says that you need to have an existing remote to program the new one, I did not need the old remote. All I had to do was go into the car, insert the key and follow some simple directions. It took 3 minutes from start to finish to program the remotes, test them and move on with my day.
The remotes themselves are exact duplicates of the OEM remotes that I haveVery satisfied with this purchase!
I'm really surprised by the quality and ease of these things. I wasn't sure what I would get for just $5 each but I figured I'd give it a shot. The only problem with my oem one was the hoop the the key ring goes through broke off. They didn't come with instructions as some other reviews have mentioned but a quick Google search and you can have both of these remotes programmed to your car in about 10 seconds (literally). I wasn't sure about buying these because some of the reviews said the range was terrible ("10-15 feet") and although that may hAve been their experience but I have yet to hit the button and not get a response from my truck. I've used it at over 100 yards and from the back of my house when the trucks on the street. So if anything I would say the range is TOO far. And some reviewers said that you could only sync one at a time because every time you program one it cancels the other one and that's not true, they just didn't do it right. All you have to do is turn the key on and off 8 times fast until the door locks lock and unlock by themselves, then you leave the key on and press a button on one remote and the doors will lock and unlock again to confirm it, the just push a button on the second remote and it will lock and unlock again to confirm that one also. THEN you turn the key off.
Update on this product. Ordered two and 1 remote would not program. I reached out to the seller and they were very prompt in shipping a replacement. Thus I'm upgrading to 5 stars and would do business again.I followed recommendation of another buyer of turning the ignition on and off 8 times until the doors unlock and press the remote. the action may trigger at 7 or 9 tries depending on vehicle. There's no instructions included and I didn't have a owners manual.
Seems to work like the original. Just programmed mine and it was incredibly simple. When I bought my F-150 it only had one key and remote. Figured at this price what did I have to lose. Followed the instructions (online) and I had both programmed in less than 5 minutes. So easy! If they last (and I don’t know why they wouldn’t) it solved my problem and I no longer have to worry about losing the only remote I have. They look and feel identical to the original and open and lock the doors at the same distance as the original.
These replacement wireless remotes work perfectly. We programmed them on the first try by following the instructions exactly. I suggest you read the instructions and memorize the steps before you start programming the remotes because the steps go very quickly,. You won't have time to stop and read the instructions to see what to do next. For example, you have to push the buttons on the remotes within 10 seconds of getting the vehicle into programming mode, so 10 seconds is not enough time to stop and read the next step. It is so nice having new remotes for this older vehicle..We only use this older Explorer to haul things we don't want in our newer vehicles, so we didn't want to spend a lot of money on remotes.We had been sharing the one remote we had that was working because it is an older vehicle and we thought the cost to replace one would be prohibitive, but that didn't prove to be correct. These remotes were perfectly priced and easily programmed. We would recommend these remotes to friends.

Package Including
2 New Keyless Entry Remote Key
I ordered these thinking it was just the covers because it was so cheap! It came with 2 entire key fobs! Works perfect! Has a long range, and very easy to program. I took it out of the package and had both of them working in less than 2 minutes. Would highly recommend buying these!
No instructions on how to program were included. Luckily the instructions are easily found online and I had both fobs programmed within a minute or two. Fobs have a range of at least 75 feet (from the far side of my yard to the driveway) and I have no need to unlock my truck from farther than that.
I have seen reviews of these where people complain that the plastic is cheap. I can tell no difference between the factory original and the new aftermarket one. The plastic feels the same and the weight feels the same.
Just purchased these remotes, there were several steps not included in the other customer reports. I followed these instructions and it worked First TIME received these Remotes on Sunday, really fast

Work great and super-fast delivery. I'd go to 5 stars if they had better range - still good, just not great.
But real reason for the review is share some instructions (at least for my 2005 F150): From inside the car with the doors unlocked turn the key from 'off' to 'run' (just short of 'start') 8 times in a row leaving the key at 'run' (the locks should cycle to let you know you're now in 'program' mode), then you have 10 seconds to push any button on the first fob and you'll have 10 seconds more for the next fob, and so on until you program them all. (If you're keeping any previous fobs you'll need to re-program them with the new ones.) Remove your key and you should notice the locks cycle to confirm that you're out of 'program' mode.
