🔑 Car Key & Fob FAQ

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

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 Programming
Common reasons: wrong key type for your vehicle, anti-theft system needs reset, low car battery voltage during programming, or the key isn't properly synced. Some cars also have programming limits (only 2-4 keys can be registered).
Key Tip: Newer cars often require dealer programming for first key replacement
Key Fob Issues
This typically indicates: weak fob battery (replace first), damaged fob antenna, or issues with your car's receiver (often in the door handle or rearview mirror). Environmental interference from other electronics can also reduce range.
Key Tip: Some locksmiths offer mobile key programming services
Lost Keys
Dealerships can often cut keys using your VIN, but will require proof of ownership. This only works for original factory keys - aftermarket or previously replaced locks won't match. The key will still need programming to start the car if it has a transponder.
Key Tip: Some locksmiths offer mobile key programming services
Security Systems
An anti-theft system that prevents the engine from starting unless it detects the correct transponder chip in the key. The chip sends a unique code to the car's computer when you turn the ignition. No match = no start, even with a physically matching key.
Key Tip: Store your key code separately from your keys
Key Fact: Key fob batteries typically last 3-4 years with normal use
