Keyless Go Fob

Since the Keyless Go Fobs are on backorder, and possibly no longer available, does anyone have any options to get another Keyless Go FOB?

I contacted a couple of local locksmiths. A couple said they can sell and program a fob for Keyless Go, but many fobs have failed after a few months. Any idea why they would fail?

May be issue is NOT THE KEYGOB but solderless keyless module

I have one Keyless Go FOB that works. Are you saying if I get an aftermarket Keyless Go FOB in a few months the keyless module will go bad and neither Keyless Go FOB will work?

KeylessGo nearly works from factory so I recommend suspecting it can mess up keys 10 years later.
It uses CAN- B to handshake security with IGN EIS...

Meaning don't pull your hair with just the keyfob, scan the chassis and interact with modules you find unstable.
