hi there. i looked around and there was no thread for this.

my question is about keyless entry remotes. i bought a used 98 i30 and want to buy a keyless entry remote. i dont want to pay the dealerships an arm and a leg for it, so im browsing ebay to see if they have good deals... which they do. has anyone else experience with buying such an item on ebay? if so, is it positive experience?

 

Look for European style flip key in Group deals. Looks nice .. or email Maxmojo or Sycefiro.

 

I got my second remote off eBay and it was painless. Paid $15 for it and programmed it myself. Piece-o-cake. Be sure that the FCC and ID numbers are appropriate to your car or it won't function. I had a remote already, so I got the numbers off that one. I'm unsure about how you'd get them otherwise.

Should not be a problem buying off e-bay. I imagine that there are several to choose from, just pick a seller with the best feedback. Got mine a couple years back for $20 or so shipped.
