Key Fob Programming Options We Offer
Prices below are typical ranges. Your exact cost depends on year, make, model, and whether all keys have been lost. We'll confirm the price before any work starts.
OEM Fob Programming
Your factory fob, properly paired. No guesswork, no dealer markup.
We use an Autel IM508 or AutoProPad to write your OEM fob's ID directly to your vehicle's ECU, following the exact manufacturer pairing sequence for your year and trim.
Text us your year, make, and model for a free quote.
Aftermarket Fob Programming
Bought a fob on Amazon or eBay? Bring it. If the chip's right, we'll make it work.
Not all aftermarket fobs are created equal, but with the correct transponder chip onboard and proper programming, most will function identically to OEM.

Remote Start Fob Sync
Remote start fobs talk to a separate module from your lock and unlock system. That's why basic programming doesn't always get them working.
Remote start communicates through a dedicated module that has to be paired independently from your standard keyless entry functions. Programming the fob to lock and unlock the doors doesn't automatically pair the remote start.

Multi-Fob Programming
Two fobs for two drivers, programmed together so neither one loses access.
Most vehicles require all fobs to be programmed in the same session because the ECU overwrites its memory with each new pairing sequence. If you program a second fob separately, it can erase the first.

Fob Resync After Battery Swap
Changed the battery and now your fob does nothing? That's almost always a resync, not a replacement.
On some vehicles, swapping the fob battery causes the rolling code to fall out of sync with the receiver. The fob isn't broken.

Dealer-Purchased Fob Activation
Bought a fob at the dealer but they want $200 to activate it? We'll do it for less.
Dealers sell OEM fobs at full list price and then charge separately for programming. If you already purchased the fob, bring it to us.

- Your remote start stopped working after a shop replaced the battery, and now nobody can figure out why.
- You inherited or purchased a used vehicle and the fob that came with it isn't programmed to the car.
