🔑 Car Key & Fob FAQ

Common questions about key programming, fob issues, and replacement options

Lost Keys
Yes, a skilled auto locksmith can extract the broken key and make a replacement. They can often do this without damaging the ignition cylinder. The new key will need programming if it has a transponder chip.
Key Fob Issues
Common causes: dead battery (most common), water damage, internal circuit damage, or the fob lost synchronization with your car. Try replacing the battery first. If that doesn't help, the fob may need reprogramming or replacement.
Cost & Options
Locksmiths are typically 30-50% cheaper than dealerships for key replacement and programming. However, some newer models (especially luxury brands) may require dealer-only programming tools. Always get quotes from both.
Key Tip: Consider key insurance for expensive smart keys
Security Systems
Not recommended. Bypassing requires specialized knowledge and may violate anti-theft laws. Proper solutions: 1) Get correctly programmed keys 2) Replace faulty immobilizer components 3) Have dealer reset the system if keys are lost.
Key Programming
Professional key programming requires: diagnostic tools to access the immobilizer system, key code software, transponder programmers, and often proprietary manufacturer equipment. Some locksmiths and all dealers have these tools.
Key Fact: The average driver will lose 1-2 car keys during ownership
