Questions before you buy
How do I know this fits my car?
Look at the back of your current regular remote, or inside the battery cover. If the part number (04686481AF) or the FCC ID printed there matches the one in the specifications on this page, it’s the right part.
Lost your key, or can’t read it? Type your VIN when you order and we check it before we ship. Your VIN is on your registration, insurance card, or the driver-side bottom of the windshield.
Do I need to program it, and how much does that cost?
Yes, a new key or remote has to be programmed to your car before it works. How depends on the year and trim: on some you do it yourself at the car with a short sequence of key turns and button presses (the steps come with it, no tool, no cost); on others a locksmith or dealer connects a programming tool. Send us your VIN and we’ll tell you which before you buy.
Will my old keys still work?
Bring every key you want to keep using when the new one is programmed. On many cars programming clears any key that isn’t there at the time.
What if it doesn’t work with my car?
Call us first. Most problems are solved on the phone. If the part doesn’t fit or won’t program to your car, you can return it within 30 days. See our return policy.
How fast will I get it?

About this part
How to program it: Programming Procedure #409
- Locate the Data Line Connector (DLC) underneath the driver’s side dashboard. The DLC is typically located either to the left or the right of the steering column base. Use the figure to the side as a map for your DLC (they usually aren’t numbered). The view in figure b, is looking straight into the cavities of the DLC. Notice how the DLC is tapered on both ends: we will be working on the wider row of cavities (1 through 8 in figure b.).
- Insert keys in ignition and leave in the OFF position.
- Make sure there are metal contact pins in terminals 1 and 4 and connect the Data Line Connector (DLC) terminal 1 to terminal 4 with a suitable jumper wire (leave the jumper wire connected throughout the programming procedure). Make sure you know which terminals are 1 and 4.
- Within 10 seconds after connecting the jumper wire, turn the ignition switch to the ACC position and then back to OFF NOTE: The doors will automatically lock and unlock once indicating that the system is in the programming mode.
- Press either the LOCK or UNLOCK button on the transmitter to be registered three times within 10 seconds. Upon successful programming, the door will lock and unlock once.
- If there is a second transmitter, press the LOCK or UNLOCK button three times within one minute and the doors will lock and unlock once to confirm successful programming.
- Disconnect the programming wire and remove the keys from the ignition.
