Hello Lane,

I reached out to my contact at Retrax, he informed me that the receiver that you have has been discontinued so you would not be able to get just the Replacement Key Fob # RTX36TR. Instead you will need to get a new power lock assembly. I am in the process of getting this part added to our site. It will be a simply plug and play assembly, and will come with 2 new key fobs that are already programmed. I will let you know as soon as I get word that it was approved. If you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to comment below.
