Dorman Keyless Entry Remote 4-Button with Patented OBD-II DIY Programmer — OE-FIX Replacement for Select Vehicles

The Dorman 99162 is a direct-fit 4-button keyless entry remote that replaces your original fob and includes a patented OBD-II programmer so you can pair it yourself in minutes.

Replacing a lost or worn key fob shouldn't require a trip to the dealer or a large bill. The Dorman 99162 OE FIX remote is built to match the look and functions of the factory transmitter on compatible vehicles and comes with a Dorman-patented programming tool that plugs into your car's OBD-II port for user-friendly setup. It supports lock, unlock, remote start, and panic functions (when those features were present from the factory) and is intended for vehicles that were originally equipped with keyless entry.

How does the Dorman 99162 make programming easier?

This remote includes a handheld programmer that connects to your vehicle’s OBD-II diagnostic port — no dealer visit required. Follow the step-by-step instructions and you can complete the pairing sequence in just a few minutes, provided you have an existing key or fob to validate the vehicle.

• Plugs into standard OBD-II port for in-vehicle programming
• Patented DIY tool with guided steps included
• Typical setup finishes within minutes
• Requires at least one original key/fob present for the process

Will this remote work like my original fob?

The 99162 is designed as an OE-style replacement, matching the button layout and remote features of compatible factory transmitters. It provides the same four-button functions—lock, unlock, remote start, and panic—on vehicles originally equipped with those functions.

• Four-button layout mirrors many factory remotes
• Supports remote start only if the vehicle had that option
• Transmitter frequency and protocols match specified applications
• Check vehicle fitment tool before purchase to confirm compatibility

What do I need to know about fit and compatibility?

Before ordering, enter your vehicle details in the fitment tool and confirm the "Confirmed Fit" indicator. If you see an information icon, hover over it or read the notes—some vehicles require additional verification or have configuration-specific limits.

• Use the garage tool to verify exact year, make, and model fit
• Fitment notes may apply for certain trims or factory options
• Only for vehicles that originally shipped with keyless entry systems
• Keep at least one original key/fob for successful programming

What should I expect from durability and daily use?

Dorman designs its OE FIX replacements to match factory standards for everyday handling. You can expect consistent button response and long-term reliability when installed and programmed correctly.

• Sturdy housing sized like original remotes for pocket convenience
• Buttons labeled for quick identification and use
• Designed for regular wear and repeated button presses
• Follow care guidelines to prolong battery and internal component life

Who is this for? The Dorman 99162 suits owners who need a cost-effective, original-style replacement or spare for a factory keyless remote and prefer to program the device themselves. It’s ideal for DIY vehicle owners, independent repair shops, and anyone who wants to avoid dealership programming fees, provided their vehicle is listed as compatible and they have at least one working original key or fob for the setup.
