Key Fob & Smart Key Programming
Remotes that stopped working, new smart keys and push-to-start fobs programmed at your car.
Key Fob Programming Done at Your Vehicle
A key fob does two jobs: the buttons lock and unlock the doors, and the chip inside tells the engine it is allowed to start. When either stops working, or you buy a replacement fob online, it has to be programmed to your specific vehicle. All Key Services Locksmith connects to your car's diagnostic port and programs the fob on site.
When You Need Fob Programming
- You need a spare smart key or remote
- Your fob was lost or stolen
- You bought a used car with only one key
- The remote buttons stopped working
- Your dashboard shows "key not detected"
- You bought a fob online and need it set up
Try the Battery First
If the buttons work only when you are right next to the car, or the car sometimes doesn't see the key, the coin battery inside the fob is often the problem. Replacing it is cheap and quick. If a new battery doesn't fix it, call us.
Buying a Fob Online?
Aftermarket fobs from online marketplaces vary in quality, and some cannot be programmed to certain vehicles. Call us with the part number before you buy and we will tell you whether it is compatible. We can also supply a quality fob that we know will program.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I program a key fob myself?
Some older vehicles have an owner programming procedure for the remote buttons, but the immobilizer chip on almost every modern car requires professional diagnostic equipment.
Will a used fob from another car work?
Many smart keys are locked to the first vehicle they were programmed to and cannot be reused. Call us with the details and we will check.
Do you program push-to-start keys?
Yes. We program proximity smart keys for most makes and models.
