Testing: Real OEM remote controls are replacement parts that are generally the exact part as your original and for the majority of the brands we sell they are functionally tested on the assembly line before packaging. Because these parts were designed to not fail during the warranty period of the equipment they originally came with OEM remotes have proven themselves over twenty years of sales to be a very reliable out of the package item. Shipping damage accounts for almost all DOA remotes and most failures within the first year come from drop damage or liquids. Orders are professionally packaged and shipping damage is covered. To further guarantee that you do not receive an initially defective item you may request testing of the remote before shipping. The remote will be distance tested and the IR decoded to verify the correct digital information guaranteeing a functional remote at the time it is shipped.
To take advantage of the testing offer send a note in the Ebay message system at the time of your order telling me to open and test before shipping.
Please note that making this request verifies that you understand that items sold as factory sealed will no longer be in the original sealed state when received.  

Notice: OEM remote controls are replacement parts that do not require programming for the original application and are as supplied by the manufacturer with no batteries or instructions.  Operating instructions for the remote control will be in the original equipment owners manual or for subs the manual for models listed as OEM in this ad. If needed owners manuals can often be downloaded from the manufacturers website. For OE subs the remote will usually operate in a similar manner as the original. If you need a manual for a sub part that has programming for other devices or just to better describe the sub remote look for a manual for the models listed as OEM for the part number of the purchased remote. Customers having trouble locating a manual may send the model number of the equipment and the remote part number and I will look for one online and in my personal manual library to try to locate a copy. I am also a long time service tech and can answer most technical questions relating to these parts for customers that have a specific question. Always include the equipment model number and the remote part number for any inquiries.
