I have a 1999 Taurus and need a new key fob (automatic door opener). Is this something you can only get at a dealership? I have gotten garage door openers from Home Depot and thought there may be a place like that for car door fobs. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You can try an auto wrecker. They usually get the owners keys with insurance wrecks and the same fobs work with different models. You will have to program your car to accept the "new" fob.
Not to sound condescending but fobs have batteries that can be changed. My exwife didn't realise that and thew hers away.
Popeye

Anyway, best place to get a FOB would be from ebay although you might find some companies that sell them direct, but ebay would probably have the cheapest price.
I thought that was strange too, but a friend of mine who was not a car person thought the same thing. They were going to get a new alarm system because they were down to their last FOB. I picked up a couple of batteries and they were all set.

You can get them for around $25 on amazon and other online stores. The instructions come with them, but it's just like turning your key to the electronics only on position 8 times.
