How it works

The key fob programming process

What to expect when you call Locks Around the Clock for key fob programming.

  1. Step 1

    Tell us the vehicle and the fob

    Give us your year, make, and model, and where the fob came from. We confirm it is compatible with your vehicle before we come out so nothing is wasted.

  2. Step 2

    We come to your vehicle

    Our mobile locksmith meets you with the programming equipment for your make. If the fob turns out to be the wrong part, we can usually supply the correct one on the spot.

  3. Step 3

    We pair the fob to your car

    We program the fob to your vehicle's system and, where needed, program the transponder so the car both responds to the remote and starts.

  4. Step 4

    We test every function

    We confirm lock, unlock, trunk, and remote start all work, then give you a straight price. If you have more than one fob, we can program them together.

Common questions

Key Fob Programming: FAQs

Can you program a fob I bought online?

Often, yes. We can program many aftermarket and dealer-supplied fobs, as long as the part is the correct one for your vehicle. Tell us your year, make, and model and where the fob came from. Call (760) 625-0955.

What is the difference between fob replacement and fob programming?

Replacement means we supply the fob and program it. Programming means you already have the fob and we pair it to your vehicle. If your fob is lost or broken, you need replacement; if you bought one, you need programming.

Why will my new fob not work until it is programmed?

A fob has to be paired to your specific vehicle before the car will recognize it. Out of the package it does nothing. We program it to your immobilizer and remote system so every button works.

Do you program push-to-start smart fobs?

Yes. We program proximity and push-to-start smart fobs, not just older remotes. If your vehicle uses keyless entry and ignition, we can pair a compatible smart fob at your vehicle.

Can you reprogram a key fob that stopped working?

Often, yes. If your fob has come unpaired or stopped talking to the car, we reprogram it to your vehicle on-site, as long as the fob itself has not physically failed. If it has, we can supply and program a replacement. Call (760) 625-0955.
