Ordering the right key fob(Remote)

I looked around and couldn't find the exact answer I wanted, but I want to order a used key fob off ebay since it's about $30 and in the descriptions it tells you to match up certain numbers to ensure that it will work for your car and they provide a serial number of some sort.

My question is how do I make sure I order the right remote that will work with my CL-S and what, and where are these numbers I need to match?

Thanks in advance

Sorry if this has been asked 100 times over

Now the funny thing is when I look up the remote i get a lot of remotes with this number E​4EG8D-443H-A, and when i look up the number you listed 2001:FCC ID: E4EG8D-444H-A, I get all those bullshit cheap aftermarket remotes.....

So are the 443H-A's compatiable since they say they work on CL's or are the CL-P and CL-S remotes different?

Ok thanks for looking into it for me as well, I was about to order the 443H one but Paypal stopped responding and I never finalized the order.....

Guess i'll try it since they have a 7 day return policy
