When You Might Need Key Programming

You may need programming if:

  • A new key will start the car but the security light stays on

  • Your push-to-start button won’t respond to the fob

  • A replacement fob unlocks the doors but won’t start the engine

  • You’ve had keys stolen and want them removed from the system

  • We’ll diagnose what’s going on and explain whether you need a new key, reprogramming, or both.

Key Programming FAQ

I bought a key online. Can you program it?

Sometimes. It depends on the quality and compatibility of the key or fob. We’ll test it, and if it won’t work, we can often supply a key that will.

How many keys can my car have programmed at once?

That depends on the vehicle, but many allow several active keys. We can add extras and, in some cases, remove old ones.

Will programming affect my car’s warranty?

Programming a key properly with professional tools should not affect your warranty. We’re happy to answer any questions you or your dealer may have.
