Q: Wondering which key fob you require?

A: We’ve simplified the process for you. Just search using your vehicle’s year, make, and model. In case your search yields multiple key fob options, simply match the button layout of your current remote with those in the search results. And even if you happen to choose the wrong one, chances are high that any of the listed key fobs will still be compatible with your vehicle.

Q: How do I program my remote to work with my vehicle?

A :Every key fob needs to be programmed for your specific vehicle before it can function. There are two ways to do this:

Self-Programming
If your vehicle’s key fob supports self-programming, just follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer. The timing involved can be a bit tricky, so take your time and make sure to follow each step precisely.

Professional Programming
Certain vehicles call for specialized equipment to program the key fob. In such cases, you’ll need to find a professional programmer—this could be a dealership, a locksmith, or a mechanic.

Q: Having trouble programming your remote on your own?

A: First, make sure your vehicle successfully enters programming mode—you’ll know it does when the locks cycle, the horn beeps, or the lights flash. If that doesn’t happen, try reactivating the mode—getting the timing right is key here.

If the vehicle is in programming mode but the remote still won’t sync:

  • Check the battery in the key fob.
  • Double-check the battery’s orientation (ensure the positive side lines up with the ‘+’ symbol).
  • Confirm that the part numbers on the back of the fob match those on a remote that’s already working. If they don’t, send an email to xxxx.

Still not working? Disconnect your car battery for 10 minutes, reconnect it, and then start the programming process over again.

Q: I called my dealer, and they said my remote can ONLY be programmed using their computers or tools—and it’s going to cost a fortune. Is there a way to program it without breaking the bank?

A: In some instances, you can program it yourself with no need for tools or special technical skills. Typically, all you’ll need is the remote, your ignition key, and your vehicle. For remotes where self-programming is possible, we provide FREE programming instructions.

Q: How can you tell if your key fob battery is running low?

A:  There are a few telltale signs that your key fob battery is dying: you may find yourself pressing the buttons multiple times before they respond, or the signal from the key fob might not reach the vehicle as far as it used to. Sadly, most key fobs don’t have a built-in indicator to alert you when the battery is low—so it’s a good idea to keep a replacement battery on hand, just in case the current one dies unexpectedly.
