Car remote keyless entry

[KevinHo]

Hi, I just got my first car from my dad but the keyless entry remote was lost. I was wondering if i bought another remote off online can i program it to work like the original one or do i need the original remote?

You can buy a replacement remote and it will have to be programmed to the car. On some cars, the programming directions are in the owners manual. You should buy a basic security system instead. Get a little protection and two remotes.

Depending on the cost of the new remote, you may be able to get a basic keyless entry system and maybe even a security system.
