Reliable Key Fob Programming
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we can program customer-supplied key fobs. However, please be aware that aftermarket fobs purchased online frequently arrive with the wrong internal chips, incorrect radio frequencies, or locked transponders that cannot be paired. While we will attempt to program it, we cannot offer a warranty on parts we do not provide
Most modern smart key fobs and proximity remotes take between 15 to 30 minutes to cut and program. The technician plugs a specialized diagnostic tablet into your car's OBD-II port to sync the new rolling codes into your vehicle's computer.
No. Our mobile locksmith vans operate as fully functional shops on wheels. We come directly to your home, office, or roadside location to perform the entire on-site programming process, saving you the hassle and cost of a tow truck.
Not necessarily. In most cases, a dead key fob battery is the culprit. If replacing the coin-cell battery does not fix it, the fob may have lost its programming or suffered internal circuit damage. We carry diagnostic equipment to test if the fob is still emitting a radio frequency signal.
Yes, we replace key fob batteries on-site. For 95% of vehicles, changing the battery will not erase the remote's programming. The memory chip inside the fob is non-volatile, meaning it retains its vehicle pairing data even when completely disconnected from power.
A proximity fob (push-to-start) allows you to unlock and drive your car while keeping the key completely in your pocket or purse. Yes, we carry an extensive inventory of OEM and high-quality universal smart fobs to cut and program duplicates for nearly all push-button start vehicles on the market.
Largely determined by the make and model of your car, the cost of replacing a lost key fob can vary significantly. As a general rule, older cars (such as a 1994 Ford Mustang) would cost less than a 2017 vehicle of the same make and model. Our fob programming can cost anywhere between $100-$300.
Key fob technology is quickly evolving and reflects the many advanced developments in keyless-entry while being able to offer great value for the money. Go to our QUICK COST CHECK to review an average cost for this service.
If you do not have a spare, let us make a spare key fob for you. We've seen the suffering caused by owners who have lost their only key fob. It is more inconvenient and stressful to lose and have to replace your only key fob, than it is to call a locksmith and have them make one for you when you are not in an emergency.
Often taken for granted, a key fob is an easy thing to misplace. We recommend having only one key fob in circulation and putting the other away to only be used in an emergency. This helps prevent an untraceable loss. When two fobs are in circulation, you run the risk of losing a fob and not even noticing because there's another in your purse, or sitting on the counter on your way out, or in the jacket you wore yesterday.
Having a spare key fob is common sense and will ensure you always have access to your vehicle, even if you lose your master copy.
We have had years of experience in programming key fobs, and creating a new one for you if need to be. We have grown in knowledge as technology has advanced. If you find yourself with a faulty key fob or you need to arrange for a spare key fob, get in touch with our team today to find out more about our services.
We also offer a guarantee on our products and services.
Many drivers wonder what "FOB" actually stands for.
While popular myths suggest it means "Frequency Operated Button," the word isn't an acronym at all. It is a centuries-old watchmaking term for a small pocket ornament.
Today, it represents the compact, wireless electronic remote that secures and starts your modern vehicle.
As early as 1653 the word fob was used to describe a small pocket for valuables but by the late 1800s and early 1900s, the fob had come to mean the pocket used for a pocket watch as well as for any other thing (ornamental or otherwise) that was hanging on the chain of the pocket watch.
Before your time (depending on how old you are, of course) car dealers would provide a key-chain for the owner's new key and sometimes hang an ornament on it. Then, in the early 1980's, when remote keyless entry systems started to gain popularity and momentum, car dealers began to call the remote a transmitter key fob, which today has been shortened to FOB.
