Spare fobs, replacements for lost ones, and push-to-start keys the car has stopped recognizing, all programmed where your vehicle is parked using dealer-level equipment.
A fob has to be registered to the specific vehicle it belongs to before the car will listen to it. We do that for a fob replacing one that went missing, for an extra you want as a backup, and for a fob the car quit recognizing after a battery swap or an electrical module problem. On push-to-start models the fob also holds the code the immobilizer checks before it lets the engine run, so setting it up takes more than syncing the lock and unlock buttons.
A basic remote that only locks and unlocks is the least expensive job. A smart key for a newer push-to-start vehicle costs more, mostly because the fob itself is a pricier part. Already bought one? We can program it, and we'll tell you straight if the part number looks wrong before you pay for a visit.
Ranges for the brands that come up most in Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls and Hayden. Your model year and the kind of fob you need decide the exact spot in the range, and we give you that number on the call.
