Key Fob & Remote Programming in Sacramento

The remote or proximity fob has stopped working, or you need another. Call (916) 244-3934.

Licensed, insured and bonded. California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services License No. LCO 6830. Open 24 hours, 7 days a week. Proof of ownership is required before any lock is opened.

Before programming, it is worth ruling out the cheap explanation: a flat coin cell in the fob presents exactly like a fob that has lost its pairing.

What the job involves

  • Pairing new remotes and proximity fobs
  • Re-pairing a fob that has lost sync
  • Replacing fob batteries and cases
  • Testing lock, unlock, trunk and panic functions after programming

What to have ready when you call

  • Year, make and model
  • The fob if you have it
  • Whether the mechanical key still works
  • Proof of ownership

Honest limits

Water damage is usually terminal for a fob board. Where the board has corroded, programming a replacement is the fix rather than reviving the old one.

Common questions

My fob stopped working. Is it broken?

Often it is the battery. That is checked first, because it is the cheapest thing it could be.

Can you program a fob bought online?

Sometimes, if it is the correct part and not already locked to another vehicle. Aftermarket quality varies.

Do proximity fobs need programming too?

Yes, and the procedure is generally longer than for a basic remote.
