I wanted to stay away from ebay after my problems with that route, but that got me interested in checking out different places online.
I found another site that sells the keyless entry remotes -
www.ThePartsYouNeed.comThe KR site wants $49 a piece plus high shipping for the Contour remote, and they're half that price on thepartsyouneed site with the instructions included. I ordered 1 for now.
