Replacement key fob - aftermarket

Anyone have any experience with these remotes? Or these?

I know the prevailing sentiment is to buy a used OEM remote, but that price for two remotes (it's my wife's Max and I never had a remote to it) seems like it can't be beat.

I'd say try it out as long as the fcc id is the same give it a shot.

I just got mine off of Flebay. They worked fine... Cheap 12.00 apeice.
I will assume that they may not have the longevity of the OEM, but I
figured for 24 bucks for 2 Id take a chance!!!

They look to be kind of cheap and the paint will likely wear off in a month or so. Why not find a used OEM on ebay that is in good shape? thats what I did

I got one of the first ones, although it might not be the same seller or manufacturer. It worked fine, then I stopped using it because I found the original. A while back my wife broke the plastic hole for a key ring off, which makes it a lot less useful. She's not always gentle with stuff, so it might not have been a weakness in the remote...

My mom did the same thing with my (OEM) Pathfinder remote many years ago. Women seem to be less careful with car stuff, in my experience anyway.

OK, A/M remotes bought, received, and programmed. Took all of 30 seconds to get them both done.

Currently they work fine. I'll report back if they don't hold up.
