00:00So your car key fob finally gave up, the buttons don't click, the cases cracked, and the dealership
00:05just quoted you 200 bucks to replace it. Yeah, I've been there, and it stings. So I went digging
00:11and found 5 replacement remote key fobs that cost less than a tank of gas, and honestly,
00:16some of them are under $7. These are the top 5, ranked by real sales numbers and real ratings,
00:23so let's get into it. Kicking things off at number 5, we've got the Jinjioken remote fob
00:28for Ford C-Max, Edge, Escape, Focus, Plus Lincoln, Mazda, and Mercury models. This one runs both
00:35315 and 433 MHz, uses the OUCD600022 transmitter with the ID63 chip, and comes in a four-button
00:44layout. And here's the kicker, it's $4.83. That's the cheapest one on this whole list.
00:52Over 4,000 sold, sitting at a 4.8 rating. If you drive an older Ford and you just
00:58need a working spare that doesn't cost more than your lunch, this is the easiest yes on the list.
01:04At number 4 is the 315 MHz keyless entry remote for Infiniti and Nissan, and the vehicle list on
01:10this thing is huge. Frontier, Murano, Armada, Pathfinder, Versa, Ultima, Maxima, Stara.
01:18You can grab it in three or four-button configurations depending on whether you need that hatch or trunk
01:23release. $6.41, nearly 5,000 units sold, 4.7 stars. What I like here is the sheer coverage,
01:32if you've got a Nissan in the driveway from the last 15 years or so, odds are extremely good this
01:36one fits. Just double-check your FCC ID on the back of your old fob before you order.
01:42Number 3 goes to the Jinjyuken N5FA08TAA Flip Remote for the Ford Fusion, 2013 through 2016.
01:51This is a proper flip key with the blade that snaps out, 315 MHz, ID49 chip, HU101 blade profile,
01:58and you can pick two, three, or four buttons. $6.94. Almost $4.900 sold and a solid 4.8
02:07rating.
02:08Honestly, flip keys just feel better in your pocket than a big chunky fob,
02:12and the fact you're getting that satisfying spring-loaded blade for under $7 is kind of
02:17ridiculous. You will need a locksmith to cut and program it, but that's still way cheaper than
02:22the dealer route. Sliding into number 2, the Jinjyuken Flip Remote for Opal and Vauxhall,
02:28and this one covers a lot of European ground. Astra H from 2004 to 2009, Zafira B from 2005 to
02:352013,
02:36Vectra C from 2002 to 2008, and Corsa D from 2007 to 2012. It runs at 433 MHz. $8.91,
02:484,000 sold, and get this, a 4.9 rating, the highest on this entire list.
02:53That's not an accident. People are consistently saying the build quality and the button feel are
02:59way better than expected for the price. If you own one of these Vauxhall's, stop looking,
03:04this is your fob. And number 1 is the 433 MHz remote key for Renault and Dacia.
03:11This one packs the PCF7961M4A chip and fits Sandero, Logan, Logi, Docker, Duster, Traffic,
03:19Clio 4, Master 3, and even the Vauxhall Vivaro. $9.80, the priciest on the list, but you're getting a
03:26genuine transponder chip in there, not just a shell. Nearly 4,800 sold with a 4.8 rating.
03:34Renault keys from a dealer are notoriously expensive, so paying under $10 for a full
03:38replacement with the chip already inside is the single best value here. That's why it takes the
03:44top spot. Alright, that's the top 5. All the links are down in the description if you want to check
03:51current prices, and seriously, just verify your FCC ID and frequency before you buy.
