Key Fob Issues

Key Tip: Avoid exposing key fobs to water or extreme temperatures
Cost & Options
Quality aftermarket keys work well for most vehicles at lower cost. However, some luxury brands use proprietary technology only available through dealers. For expensive cars, OEM may be worth the extra cost for reliability.
Key Fact: Key fob batteries typically last 3-4 years with normal use
