Your Keys Just Got Smarter (And Harder to Replace)

Modern “smart keys” are essentially small computers. When they fail or vanish, the dealership sees dollar signs. We see a programming challenge. We carry the specialized diagnostic tools to introduce new remotes to your car’s computer, often at half the dealer price.

Buying Fobs Online? Read This.

You can buy cheap fobs on eBay, but many are already 'married' to another VIN or transmit on the wrong frequency. We cannot guarantee programming for customer-supplied parts. Our fobs are guaranteed to work.

Which Remote Is Yours?

🛡️

Smart Key / Proximity

Push-to-start fobs that stay in your pocket. We program these via the OBDII port to sync with the Body Control Module.

High
🛡️

Flip Key / Integrated

A metal key blade that flips out of the remote head. Common on VW, Ford, and GM. We cut the blade and program the chip.

Medium
🛡️

Standard Remote (Fob Only)

Separate clicker for door locks, used alongside a metal key. We can program these in minutes for older vehicles.

Low

Programming Protocol

1

Frequency Check

We verify your vehicle's FCC ID and frequency (315MHz vs 433MHz) to ensure we use the exact compatible hardware.

2

ECU Access

We plug our programmer into the OBDII port to access the vehicle's immobilizer system and 'clear' old keys if needed.

3

Synchronization

We follow the manufacturer algorithm to introduce the new fob ID to the car's computer.

4

Function Test

We verify lock, unlock, panic, trunk, and remote start functions before handling you the new remote.

FAQ: Remote Programming

Can you program a fob I bought online?
We can try, but we charge a service fee regardless of success. Many online fobs are faulty or wrong for the VIN. We recommend using our guaranteed inventory.
My car says 'Key Not Detected'.
This usually means a dead fob battery or a de-sync. Try holding the fob directly against the start button. If that fails, call us for reprogramming.
Do I need two working keys to program a third?
For some Ford and GM DIY programming, yes. But our equipment allows us to program new keys even if you have zero working keys.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does key fob replacement cost?

Key fob replacement costs $125-$450 depending on the fob type and vehicle. Standard remote entry fobs cost $125-$195. Integrated transponder fobs cost $175-$275. Smart keys and push-button start fobs cost $225-$450. Luxury vehicle fobs may be higher. We provide exact pricing based on your specific vehicle and fob type.

Can you replace key fobs for any car?

Yes! We can replace and program key fobs for all vehicle makes and models including domestic, Asian, European, and luxury vehicles. We handle standard remote entry fobs, integrated transponder key fobs, and advanced smart keys with push-button start systems.

Do I need to go to the dealer for key fob replacement?

No! We provide professional key fob replacement and programming as an affordable alternative to dealer service. Our mobile service is typically 40-60% less expensive than dealer pricing. We use quality OEM and aftermarket fobs programmed with professional equipment.

How long does key fob programming take?

Most key fob programming is completed in 20-40 minutes on-site. Standard remote entry fobs take about 20-25 minutes. Integrated transponder fobs take 30-40 minutes. Complex smart key systems may take 45-60 minutes depending on the vehicle. We complete programming while you wait.

What if I've lost all my key fobs?

Even if you've lost all your key fobs, we can program new ones for your vehicle. Lost-all-fobs situations require special procedures to access your vehicle's receiver module, but we handle these regularly. This service is more complex than adding a fob when you have working fobs, but we can complete it on-site.

Will an aftermarket key fob work as well as the original?

Quality aftermarket key fobs work just as well as OEM dealer fobs when properly programmed. We use reputable aftermarket fobs that meet or exceed OEM specifications. All fobs are tested before we leave to ensure full functionality including lock, unlock, trunk release, and panic features.
