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