KeylessOption Key Fob Cover Case Replacement for 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 Chrysler Caravan Dodge Ram Jeep Cherokee Remote Shell, 3-Button GQ43VT17T, GQ43VT9T, No Programming Required

05’ Dodge. Works perfectly. Just installed the circuit board from the old one in brand new housing. Then added a rubber fob cover for addl protection.Excellent value.

I'm so excited to have my key fob back for the truck we just rebuilt.During the accident my truck was in the ring on my original fob cracked and we needed to order a replacement fob but the dealer price was way to expensive of an option.We rebuilt this truck from the ground up and have been watching out pennies during this process.The key fob was the replacement fob case only for our 1999 Dodge Ram.The fob shell came partially opened upon arrival.Very simple to remove the old chipboard and batteries from the old fob and install in this new fob shell.Installation took all of 5 minutes.Button are easy to push and everything synced up no problem. No need to pay the dealer re programming fees, just use the inside of the fob you have and install in this shell. The only thing this fob doesn't have is the 'Ram" that was molded into my original key fob.Price point is excellent and high quality materials.Very happy with this purchase,I purchased this item full price. My opinions are my own and I was not compensated in any way for my thoughts.I rely on product reviews just like others to help make my purchase decisions so I try each product very carefully before reviewing and always do my best to leave honest opinions and provide as much facts as possible based solely on my experience.

I have used all 3 that I purchased, and all three have failed in the same way. First off they do not mention that you have to remove a metal battery connector from the original remote and that it is very thin, then install it into the new one, but if you bend any part it will not fit, It is press fit in the original with some tension wings that bend when you remove so make sure you bend them back into place.With the battery clip transferred and hopefully working it is time to move the actual PCB controller board, taking it out of the older one is fine, but getting it to sit correctly in the new is difficult as it appears the original silicone is thicker then the one provided, so either fight with fitting it and run the risk of it not fitting or switch to the much thinner silicone the new one comes with and it's easier to install and close the fob.Now after a couple days maybe weeks you will find the back has cracked on the end away from the loop for the key ring. The failure point has been the same for all so that tells me there is something wrong. No I do not keep my keys in my pants pockets where they might be crushed.I have attached a couple pictures, one shows the metal battery connector you need to move, then there are 2 marked with indicators or what I think is the culprit. One of the 3 plastic battery retainers in the back of the replacement FOB is the site where all broke and showing an outward bulge.If the plastic case was thicker and better able to hold the original silicon covering and not require surgery to transfer it might be a better product.

Works as advertised. You will need a small jewelers screwdriver to carefully pop the battery contacts out of the old fob and into the new one. The circuit board is easily moved over without any tools. The plastic shell and rubber keypad seem close to original. Can't attest to durability yet. I imagine it will be fine so long as your not throwing your keys against a brick wall as was the reason my first one got broken. For the price if it lasts a year its worth it. Exact fit for a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The case seems to be the same size a the automakers case. However the rubber keypad piece is thicker than the factory part. While the case snaps together well before you transfer the existing circuit board, the combination of circuit board and keypad piece becomes too thick for the case to completely snap together. I needed to do a bit of "surgery" by trimming down the rubber keypad edges with a razor blade in order to snap the case shut. Took me about 30 minutes of investigation and careful cutting to get it fixed, but now it works just fine. Probably not a job for the faint of heart.

I dropped my keyfob from my old 2002 Dodge Durango and the top cracked off. I did a superglue temp fix, but knew I needed a replacement. So far, I could not be happier.I feel like the plastic is slightly lighter, so I will update the review as far as any changes in durability.In general, installation is a breeze. You pry open your old keyfob. The keyfob board MUST be in working order, as this is just the housing you are buying. NOTE: The same company does sell a whole keyfob for about $28-30. You would need a second ,working keyfob to program the new one.Anyway, once you open your old keyfob, carefully remove the contents. On a Dodge keyfob, you have the two C2016 batteries, a thin plastic overlay, and the original rubber 'Unlock/Lock/Panic' overlay.Next, carefully pry off the battery terminal from the old keyfob. It is usually held down by a tiny plastic raised pin that is part of the keyfob body.The next step is to insert the battery terminal into the new keyfob. Then insert the 'Unlock/Lock/Panic' keypad, then the thin plastic overlay. Last, insert the board and the batteries.The last step took me a few minutes. I was trying to be careful with the board and it was a very tight fit in the new rubber housing.I snapped the two halves of the new keyfob together, and it worked perfectly.The new buttons do see more rigid to press. That may also be that the old overlay was 18 years old and well broken in. Either way, it is a different feel but it is not like I have to press more than once or press very hard. the buttons just feel harder to the touch.

Bought one about three months ago and it was cracked. Don't know what caused it but I bought another one and we'll see how this one stand up.
