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

 

Look on the back of your key fob, its the FCC ID.

 

Forgot to check back in lol.....

That's just the thing when I bought the car it didn't come with a remote

 

Here are the FCC Id Numbers for all 2nd gen TL and CL models. They differ on the 2nd Gen TL, but are the same on the CL from 2001-2003

CL:
2001:FCC ID: E4EG8D-444H-A
2002:FCC ID: E4EG8D-444H-A
2003: FCC ID: E4EG8D-444H-A

TL
1999: FCC ID: CWT72147KA
2000: FCC ID: KOBUTAH2T
2001: FCC ID: KOBUTAH2T
2002: FCC ID: E4EG8D-444H-A
2003: FCC ID: E4EG8D-444H-A

 

thank you very much, it matches up

 

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, so E4EG8D-443H-A mighhhtt be for the 2001 CL, im getting mixed results. What year is yours?

and CL an CL Type S remotes are the same

edit: nevermind.. i see that you have a 2001 CL...

 

alright so im getting more results saying that E4EG8D-443H-A is for 2001.. maybe they switched after that?

i guess my original source for info was incorrect..

 

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

 

Ordered it and it worked perfect, damn near brand new remote, thanks for the input

 

Cans someone help me out with the battery model? I haven't had keyless for a while and should probably get on it... have the original remote fob, just need a new battery
