What is a key fob anyway?

A key fob is a small, wireless remote control device that can be used to lock and unlock your car doors, as well as activate car alarms. Key fobs generally have buttons on them that allow you to press the button to activate certain functions; for instance, pressing the ‘lock’ button may lock all of the doors on your car.

Types of key fobs

There are many different types of key fobs available, and the one you get will depend on the make and model of your car. Some newer cars may come with a smart key, which allows you to unlock and start the car without actually having to press any buttons. With others, you may need an aftermarket keyless entry system that requires programming to work properly.

We offer a wide range of services for both standard and aftermarket systems, ensuring that all makes and models can be serviced quickly and efficiently. From simple key fob replacement to complicated programming issues, our team is ready to handle it all!

How to go about replacing your key fob

Determine the type of key fob you have. Check if it is a remote keyless entry system, transponder chip-based system, or proximity-based (smart) key system. This will help to determine what type of replacement parts you need and how much it will cost to replace your key fob.

Contact your car manufacturer or an auto locksmith specializing in electronic keys to get the specific part number for the replacement key fob that matches your vehicle's make and model. Make sure to provide them with your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

Purchase a compatible replacement key fob from either an online store or physical auto parts store. You can also purchase one through a dealership, but it may be more expensive.

Depending on your vehicle, you may need to have the key fob programmed by a locksmith or auto technician for it to work with your car's security system. If so, refer back to step 2 and ask the locksmith or auto technician what type of programming is necessary to get the new key fob working on your vehicle.

Once programmed, you can use the replacement key fob as you would any other original key fob. Test out all of its features including locking and unlocking doors and starting your engine before storing it away in a safe place.
