Is there such a thing as aftermarket car door lock/unlock remotes? If so, does anyone have any experience or recommendations? Mine is on the fritz (no backup) and the dealer wants $170 to replace it.

The money is not the main issue, I just think the dealership is gouging and that bothers me.

Thanks in advance,

I had one installed over 20 years ago on an old Ford Tempo. I'm not sure of the manufacturer, but I'm sure you can find a local dealer and installer via Google.
 
I went through the same thing with mine. I know the manufacturing cost has to be ~ $5 yet replacement costs were ridiculous wherever I looked. I think it is the same scam as replacement ink in a printer. The problem was with the door unlock and I wasn't going to pay so I just carry my original key fob with it.
 
On a previous car, the key fob door opener went on the fritz. I opened it up and saw that there was a loose contact. All it took was a little soldering to fix the problem. I did see a display at Canadian Tire this fall for replacement door opener key fobs. I did not pay much attention since I was not in the market for one. You might try there.
