Default Need a new IR key remote. Where to buy?

I looked at the usual places (Blau, ECS, SJM, eBay) but I didn't see any replacements for my IR remote.

Is the stealer the only option?

Thanks in advance,

Adam

Default yep. I almost got lucky...

lady at the counter said $60. Then a guy who walked past and overheard, "no no, it's $150!"

Bastard. I hate good employees

Default i bought an RF one on ebay for $40

btw, i have a whole RF security system i bought off craigslist for like $30...before i discovered my car already has the OEM RF stuff...so just bought a new fob.

it'll wire up to your car, and then you'll have RF goodness. $30 + shipping, it's yours.

Any advantage of RF over IR?

Default pretty obvious...don't need to aim at the car...

you can lock/unlock without taking your hand out of your pocket.

i've heard IR has some problems in direct sunlight.

Default Gonna try replacing the batteries. Anyone know what type?

The previous owner took out the batteries. I doubt this will work, but I'd like to give it a shot.

Default Dealer only for an uncut key... a used one won't do you too much good.

Unless you cut the key off and use it as a remote only.
