Key Fob Programming — FAQ
Can you program a key fob I purchased online?
In many cases, yes. If the fob is compatible with your vehicle, we can program it. We recommend contacting us with the fob’s part number before purchasing so we can confirm compatibility.
Will programming a new fob deactivate my old one?
It depends on the vehicle. Some cars allow multiple fobs to be active simultaneously, while others erase old fobs during the pairing process. We’ll let you know what to expect for your specific make and model.
How do I know if my fob needs reprogramming or just a new battery?
If replacing the battery doesn’t restore functionality, the fob likely needs reprogramming or may be defective. Our technicians can diagnose the issue quickly on-site.
