How key fob replacement works

A fob is a small radio that the car has to be told to trust. A new one is matched to your exact year and model, the emergency blade inside is cut, and the fob is programmed through the car’s diagnostic port.

Before replacing a fob, change its battery and try your spare. A dead coin battery is the most common reason a fob stops working.

Key Fob Replacement questions

Can a locksmith program a fob I bought online?

Often, if it is the right part for your car and has not been locked to another vehicle. Used fobs frequently cannot be reused. Ask before you buy.

How do I start the car with a dead fob?

Most push-button cars read a dead fob held against the start button or placed in a marked spot. Your manual shows where.

Is a locksmith cheaper than a dealer for a fob?

Often, and you avoid a tow. Prices vary by car, so ask for the total on the call.
