Absolutely. Your replacement key fob will have all the same functionality as your original – door locks, trunk release, remote start, panic button, and any other features your vehicle came with from the factory.
We use OEM-compatible parts and manufacturer-approved programming procedures to ensure complete functionality. This means your new fob integrates seamlessly with your car’s security and convenience systems. Unlike cheap aftermarket alternatives that might only provide basic functions, our replacements maintain all the features you’re used to having.
First, try replacing the battery – it’s the most common cause of key fob problems and costs less than $10. If a new battery doesn’t solve the issue, the fob itself may need reprogramming or replacement.
Don’t panic if you’re locked out. Most vehicles with key fobs have backup entry methods, like a hidden physical key or door handle touch sensors. Check your owner’s manual for emergency access procedures. Then call us for mobile service – we can diagnose whether you need a simple reprogramming or complete fob replacement and handle it on the spot.
