Remote Head Keys & Flip Keys

Shop remote head keys and flip keys for automotive locksmith services, duplicate-key jobs, and inventory restocking. Noble Key Supply carries a wide selection of integrated automotive keys for domestic, Asian, and European vehicles.

The collection includes new OEM, refurbished OEM, recased, Paladin, Keyless2Go, and other aftermarket keys. Because appearance alone does not determine compatibility, compare the FCC ID, part number, chip, frequency, blade, and button layout before ordering.

What Is a Remote Head Key?

A remote head key combines the vehicle’s mechanical blade, transponder chip, and remote-entry controls into one housing. Unlike a separate key and remote, this integrated design allows the driver to unlock the doors, control supported remote functions, and start the vehicle with one key.

Remote head keys may include buttons for:

• Lock and unlock
• Panic alarm
• Trunk release
• Rear-hatch release
• Remote start
• Power sliding doors

The available functions depend on the vehicle and original equipment.

Automotive Flip Keys

A flip key stores the blade inside the remote housing and releases it through a spring-loaded mechanism. This design protects the blade when it is not in use and creates a more compact key.

The correct flip key must have a compatible blade, hinge mechanism, transponder chip, frequency, FCC ID, and button configuration. Similar-looking flip keys may support entirely different vehicles.

Remote Keys for Many Vehicle Manufacturers

This collection includes remote head keys and flip keys for compatible vehicles from manufacturers such as:

• Ford and Lincoln
• Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac
• Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and Ram
• Honda and Acura
• Toyota, Lexus, and Scion
• Hyundai and Kia
• Nissan and Infiniti
• Mazda and Mitsubishi
• Subaru
• Volkswagen and Audi

Use the year, make, and model search as a starting point, then confirm all specifications shown in the product listing.

Transponder-Chip Technologies

Remote keys contain a transponder that must communicate with the vehicle’s immobilizer system. Chip technologies represented throughout the collection include:

• ID46
• ID47
• ID49
• 4D 63
• 80-bit transponders
• Toyota H-chip configurations
• Additional application-specific chips

Two keys with matching buttons and shells can use different transponders. Confirm the chip type before cutting or programming the key.

Remote-Key Frequencies

Automotive remote keys operate at frequencies selected for their specific vehicle systems and markets. Frequencies represented within the collection include:

• 314 MHz
• 315 MHz
• 433 MHz
• 434 MHz
• 902 MHz

An incorrect-frequency remote may not operate the vehicle’s keyless-entry functions, even if its blade and transponder appear compatible.

Match the FCC ID

The FCC ID is one of the most important identifiers for selecting a replacement remote key. Examples represented in the collection include:

• CWTWB1U793
• CWTWB1U331
• OUCD6000022
• N5F-A08TAA
• N5F-A08TDA
• N5F-S0084A
• OHT01060512
• OHT692427AA
• GQ4-53T
• HYQ12BEL
• KR55WK49308
• MLBHLIK6-1TA
• MLBHLIK6-1T

Compare the complete FCC ID from the original key with the replacement product. Every letter and number can affect compatibility.

Verify the Manufacturer Part Number

Manufacturer part numbers provide another reliable method for matching a remote head key or flip key. Examples found within the collection include:

• Ford 164-R8073
• Ford 164-R8070
• Ford 164-R8130
• Ford 164-R8134
• Honda 35111-SVA-306
• Honda 35118-TA0-A00
• Honda 35118-T2A-A60
• Toyota 89070-02880
• Ram 56046953AG
• Ram 56046955AG
• GM 13504202

Use the part number together with the FCC ID, frequency, chip, blade, and button layout.

New OEM Remote Keys

New OEM remote keys use original-equipment components intended for their listed vehicle applications. They are a suitable choice when a new factory key is preferred.

An OEM designation does not guarantee compatibility with every vehicle from the same manufacturer. Confirm all available identifiers before purchasing.

Refurbished OEM Keys

Refurbished remote keys reuse genuine OEM electronics and may be available in Grade A or Grade B cosmetic condition. They offer an alternative to purchasing a new OEM key while retaining original-equipment circuitry.

Depending on the application, a refurbished key may require unlocking, resetting, reflashing, or other preparation before programming. Verify the product’s status and programming requirements before beginning the job.

Recased Remote Head Keys

A recased key uses compatible electronics installed in a replacement exterior housing. Recasing can improve the appearance and physical condition of an OEM key while preserving its original circuit board.

Review the individual product description to confirm the key’s condition, included components, blade status, and programming requirements.

Paladin Premium Aftermarket Keys

Paladin remote head keys and flip keys provide reliable, quality-tested alternatives for compatible vehicle applications. They are designed for professional automotive key replacement while offering practical value for locksmiths and key-service providers.

Compatibility must still be verified using the original key and vehicle information.

Keyless2Go and Other Aftermarket Options

The collection also includes Keyless2Go and other aftermarket remote keys. Aftermarket options can provide a cost-effective solution for supported vehicles when the correct specifications are selected.

Check whether the product includes the blade, electronics, transponder, battery, and other components required to create a complete working key.

Remote Keys With Tough Shells

Select remote head keys are available with Tough Shell housings. These extra-durable, reliable shells are designed to resist wear and avoid the crumbling commonly associated with weaker replacement-key housings.

A stronger shell can be particularly useful for keys that receive frequent daily use. Review the listing to confirm whether a Tough Shell is included.

Button Layout and Vehicle Functions

Remote keys may have two, three, four, five, or more buttons. The correct replacement should match the original key’s buttons and functions.

Do not assume that an additional button will become functional after programming. Vehicle equipment, circuit-board design, and programming determine which features are supported.

Key Cutting and Programming

Most remote head keys and flip keys require two separate services:

1. Cutting the mechanical blade to operate the lock and ignition
2. Programming the transponder and remote functions to the vehicle

Some vehicles use separate procedures for immobilizer and remote programming. A key may start the vehicle but have nonworking buttons—or operate the locks without starting the engine—if only part of the process is completed.

A qualified automotive locksmith can verify compatibility, cut the correct blade, prepare the key, and perform the necessary programming.

How to Choose the Correct Remote Key

Before ordering, verify:

1. Vehicle year, make, model, and trim
2. Remote head or flip-key design
3. FCC ID
4. Manufacturer part number
5. IC or circuit-board number
6. Transponder-chip type
7. Operating frequency
8. Button count and functions
9. Blade style and keyway
10. Battery type
11. OEM, refurbished, recased, or aftermarket condition
12. Programming-tool compatibility

Checking every available identifier helps reduce incorrect orders, cutting errors, and failed programming attempts.
