The "Dealer installed" keypad really cannot be compared to the earlier "factory INSTALLED" keypad. I have owned both over the years. The dealer installed version is simply a battery operated remote. You can install it anywhere on the vehicle. Looks like an add on, because it is. I don't recall for sure, but I don't remember them lighting up when touched like the factory unit does. And the batteries DO run down and when they fail you are up the creek!
