Your Push-to-Start Key
Programmed On-Site

Modern vehicles don't use a physical key to start — they use encrypted proximity signals. Programming these requires professional-grade equipment that reads your car's IMMO system directly.

"A dealership programs smart keys the same way we do — the difference is we come to you and charge half the price."

Smart keys (also called proximity keys, key fobs, or push-to-start keys) contain an encrypted transponder that must be paired directly to your vehicle's immobilizer (IMMO) system. You can't simply buy a new key and have it work — it needs to be programmed.

We use the Autel IM608 II — the industry's leading IMMO programming tool — to pair new smart keys directly to your vehicle's ECU via OBD2. This covers Toyota, Honda, Ford, GM, Nissan, Subaru, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Mercedes, and many more.

The entire process typically takes 20–45 minutes on-site at your home, office, or roadside. You never need to tow your car or wait for a dealership appointment.

Smart Key Questions
Answered

Why can't I just buy a smart key online and use it?
A replacement smart key is just a blank — it contains no vehicle-specific data. It must be programmed to your car's IMMO system by a technician with professional OBD2 programming equipment. An unprogrammed key will not start or unlock your vehicle.
Will programming a new key delete my existing keys?
No. Adding a new key to your vehicle's IMMO system does not affect keys already programmed. We can also intentionally delete specific keys if you've lost one and need to remove it from your vehicle's memory for security reasons.
How much cheaper are you than the dealership?
Dealerships typically charge $400–$900 for smart key programming plus a wait of several days. We charge $350–$550 depending on your vehicle, come to your location, and complete the job same day — often the same hour.
My key fob buttons stopped working — can you fix it?
Often this is just a dead battery (CR2032 or CR2450 — we carry both). If the battery replacement doesn't solve it, the fob may have lost its pairing and just needs re-syncing. We diagnose and fix this on the spot.
