Dorman 99162 Patented Keyless Entry Remote – DIY OBD II Programming (OE FIX) | 4-Button Replacement

DIY Keyless Remote Replacement That Fits Your Vehicle

When a keyless fob stops responding or you want a spare on hand, the Dorman 99162 offers a practical, purpose-built solution. This OE FIX replacement is designed to look and work like your original remote, while giving you a do-it-yourself programming path that can save time and money. The built-in, patented programmer guides you through a quick setup, so you can get back to driving with minimal downtime.

The remote features a familiar four-button layout—lock, unlock, remote start, and panic—delivering the same everyday convenience you rely on. It is tailored for vehicle-specific replacement on select makes and models, so it’s not a generic universal part. Before purchasing, you’ll confirm fit against your vehicle’s original equipment and configuration to ensure compatibility.

Setup is designed to be fast and straightforward. The programmer plugs into the OBD II port beneath the dashboard and, with the included instructions, walks you through the pairing steps. Expect a smooth process that aims to deliver reliable operation for years to come, without the need for a dealer appointment or expensive programming fees.
