What key fob programming actually involves

Programming pairs a fob to your specific vehicle so the car recognises it. That covers a replacement for a lost fob, an extra fob you want as a spare, and re-pairing a fob that has stopped being recognised after a battery change or a module fault. For push-to-start vehicles the fob also carries the immobiliser credential, so it has to be programmed rather than simply paired to the remote functions.

When people call us for this

  • The fob does nothing, and a new battery didn't fix it
  • You want a second fob so you're not down to one
  • You bought a fob online and need it paired to the car
  • Push-to-start won't detect the key in the cabin

What it costs

A remote-only fob is the cheapest case. A proximity smart key for a late-model vehicle costs more because the fob hardware itself costs more. If you already bought a fob, we can program it — though we'll tell you honestly if it's the wrong part number before you waste a trip.

You get the exact number on the phone before we drive out. No call-out surcharge, no night or weekend premium, and the quoted price is the price you pay.

How the job runs

01

Verify Ownership

We check your driver's license and vehicle registration to verify you're the legal owner. We do this on every job, without exception.

Cut the Key Blade

Using a precision laser or code-cutting machine, we cut the physical key blade to match your vehicle's lock pattern.

03

Program the Chip

We connect to your car's OBD-II port and program the transponder chip to communicate with your immobilizer system.

04

Test & Deliver

We test the key on ignition, door locks, and trunk. You drive away with a fully working key — guaranteed.

Questions

Key Fob Programming questions

My fob stopped working. Do I need a new one?
Not always. Try a fresh battery first. If that doesn't fix it, the fob may just need re-programming rather than replacing, which is cheaper — we'll test before we sell you anything.
Can you program a fob I bought online?
Usually yes, if it's the correct part number and frequency for your vehicle. Bring it and we'll check. Aftermarket fobs vary in quality and some won't hold a program.
Do you do push-to-start proximity keys?
Yes. Proximity keys are programmed at the vehicle with dealer-level equipment.
Can you add a spare without the original present?
For most makes yes, though some require all existing keys to be present during programming. We'll tell you which case yours is when you call.
