What does your local dealer charge for Hummer keyless entry remotes?

My Hummer dealer wants $99 a piece plus $35 for programming for each of my cars (2 - 03 H2's).

I'm curious to see what other dealerships are charging for new remotes and programming.

I'm done with ebay because the listings show new remotes, and 3 out of 3 times I've won - I end up with junk that doesn't work and won't program. First one was superglued together and cracked. Can't check the battery if you can't even open it. Second one was completely corroded inside from water and didn't work. The 3rd one only 1 button worked and it looked like someone tried to superglue the circuit board pieces back together. Each one was advertised as new, or like new and they obviously weren't anywhere close to that. The Keyles Ride site is run by one of those same lying ebay sellers, so thats off the list too.

What does your local dealership charge? I bet there's some that want even more than what mine is charging.

 

93miata, did you complain to ebay about those people and their faulty keyless remotes, you know you can do that in the dispute console.

 

Yes, of course...but it just seems that ebay lets you write a few characters in a box about the problem. I doubt anything will ever come of the complaint.

 

If nothing happens in about ten days, then you go back to the dispute console and escalate the complaint. If you paid with paypal, you should be able to get a refund from ebay or even from paypal themselves. Paypal also has a complaint dept.l One time a seller didn't send me a third seat that I had won, waited for about a month and a half, never came, emailed the seller 3 times, no response. Went to the dispute console , even then, took them like 10 days to respond. Came out with the excuse that it had been returned ( If that was the case, they should have emailed me immediately) the people finally sent me the 3rd seat. I was glad they still had it! Just make sure to open up the dispute within 45 days with paypal, 60 days with ebay. and yes, I've seen tons of those keyless fobs for the h2 with ebay. I believe it's the same fob for the escalade and the tahoe. Good luck! (''

 

I paid with a money order, so I'll see if I can do anything for a fraud report with the post office. I can't even post negative feedback for the scammers, because they already threatened to leave a negative for me if I do, and I don't want to lose my 100% rating.

Anyways, I found another site that sells the keyless entry remotes - www.ThePartsYouNeed.com

The KR site wants $34 a piece for the H2 remote, and they're half that price on thepartsyouneed site with the instructions included. I ordered 1 this morning.

I'll keep you guys posted. If it works good, I'm going to order one for my other H2 as well.

 

Good Luck, 93miata!

 

Oops, forgot to update this...

I received my remote on the 15th (3 days for delivery is pretty impressive).

The remote works great and programming was extremely easy. I can't believe dealers charge for that!

I was even more impressed when I went to place an order for another H2 remote. I got free shipping on my 2nd order as a return customer so I went ahead and ordered 3 more so I have a pair for each truck.

ThePartsYouNeed.com rocks!

 

Hey, I'm glad to hear that! And now I know where to turn to in case I need one

 

Another update - I got my 2nd order in today's mail. Setup was easy. I loved the fast shipping. The other thing I like is they actually package them up good.

One of the EBAY orders I had was just a remote thrown in a regular paper letter envelope. There was already a hole in the corner about half the size of the remote inside from being sorted at the post offices. 1 more day in the mail and I'm sure the remote wouldn't have made it all the way to me. That was also the guy who charged $6 for shipping! LOL.

I'd order more remotes if I could, but my Miata doesn't even have power locks.

 

I got a notification today that one of those ebay sellers was suspended (probably for the same issue with other people). I'm doubt there is any recourse to get my money back, but at least nobody else gets burned. I found something else odd out today too. On another forum, somebody mentioned that they had pretty badly limited range with their remote, but if they aimed the remote at their chin, they could get the car to lock and unlock from about 80 ft away.

I tried it when I was headed back to my car from the mall today, and it works...lol. Probably will get brain cancer now...but it about triples the range.
