Is this product better quality than the OEM product? It's 2x the price of replacement parts via Brinkmann.

I feel they are better quality than Oem and I believe these are stainless and Oem are not

I believe that was the part number on mine. I have had no problems with this product. I have actually bought 2 of them to replace the original ones that broke.

Be carefull. I ordered one of these and it was shipped re-packaged in an Amazone boxe (for cheaper shipping fees). When I open it, it was not an OEM but an aftermarket product (Dorman I guess). But I have to say that i've been easily refunded by Amazon. Sorry for my poor English, i'm french.

This is an aftermarket part. It looks like the OEM but is not quite as sturdy. For the difference in price it is a good deal. Easy to program and works the same as an OEM.

The one I bought (not sure it's the same one you're looking at) doesn't seem like OEM. The emergency door key falls out and, in fact, I just lost it for the 2nd time. Also, the mechanic who programmed it was unhappy using a key from a source he didn't know. Otherwise it works fine. But if I need another replacement I'll pay the extra $$$ at the dealer or the mechanic.

This part is all cast including the key that is built in. It looks more stout than the OEM part that was built with the key punched into the side. I hope when i need this part to fail it will.

No, I can't. It was a really great part and high quality. I just don't know if it was OEM B&S.

Dear John, We returned this item because we took it to the VW Dealership that does the work on our Jetta and they said the system was NOT an OEM as advertised, but rather "Made in China". VW would NOT install and recommended we go to a 3rd Party Installer and that the Dealership would not insttall, maintain and/or repair this unit as they only work on TRUE OEM Equipment. LCLC

Mr. Collins ,The items I ordered & installed were an exact fit with NO issues. I have experienced that over 25 years of foreign car ownership & part replacement , over time, all plastic parts become flimsy and brittle. Mass production and cost - cutting by manufacturing yields these results. Hope this answers your concerns. ron

It's the correct part. It's a very costly part, but also very high quality. If you look on YouTube, there is a video of a guy using this kit for a replacement. It's very thorough and worth the watch.

I can tell you that this battery is easily three to four times better than oem. In fact, the remote has not "died" since I replaced the battery. I bought it 3 years ago from CAMSDIGITAL. I guess that probably wouldn't be relevant now.

It appeared to me it was the OEM part. It has worked well for a couple of yrs now. So, if it's not OEM, it's built well.

I have bought bumpers that were as you described, my purchase of this one proved better than that. I do not think it is a thick a gm replacement. but the cost is not anywhere close to the gm bumper.

No idea. Why do you care? It works just as good as original part. I am using it everyday.

the original part lasted a good 8 years. I expect 5 years, but I bought 2 to have a spare. I think the original part got cut by a piece of plastic being sucked up or it might still be going.
