Frequently Asked Questions

We will help you ensure that you get the correct remote for your vehicle! Just reach out to our support email [email protected].

Simply search for your Make/Model/Year on our website (ex. – “2009 Ford F150”). It’s important to get the correct remote for your vehicle. You can do this two ways:

  1. Check an existing remote – Just check the back or inside of an existing fob. ALWAYS get the same button configuration.
  2. Check with VIN – If you do not have an existing fob, call a Dealership with your VIN to get the Part Number you need.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at [email protected].

Absolutely, and we thank you for your service, Military members!

Yes!  We will email you a tracking number once your package is shipped.  It will include a link to USPS Tracking for your package.

Unfortunately, the USPS Tracking System isn’t always updated in real-time.  Sometimes there can be as much as a 24 hour status update delay.  If the Tracking System says that your order has been delivered, it is likely that it has left the USPS warehouse and is already out for delivery.  Visit the USPS Tracking System to check again, or contact your local Post Office for more information.

This doesn’t mean we haven’t processed or shipped your order! We ship all orders in less than one business day. This email may take 12-24 hours to get to you depending on shipping times and USPS processing of the package. You can also check your email SPAM folder.

It is not possible for us to program or cut a key for your specific vehicle remotely. Physical access to the vehicle is required. You will either need to program the remote yourself or get a professional to program it for you.

For many vehicles, yes! It’s easy and anyone can do it! Check out our Free Programming Instructions for easy step-by-step instructions to program your remote.  If your vehicle requires professional programming we let you know on each vehicle specific programming instruction page, so you’re not left with any doubt and searching all over the internet.  We recommend that you use our Auto Locksmith finder to have a Locksmith come to you and program the remote for cheaper than a Dealership: Auto Locksmith Finder.

We STRONGLY recommend that you call a local Automotive Locksmith for this service.  Locksmiths are generally more helpful, skilled at remote programming, won’t refuse service and are more reasonably priced than Dealerships for remote programming.
You can find an Auto Locksmith near you with our Auto Locksmith Finder.

This happens and is exactly why we strongly recommend that you call a local Automotive Locksmith for this service.  Locksmiths are generally more helpful, won’t refuse service or mislead you into buying from them and are more reasonably priced than Dealerships for remote programming.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at [email protected].

If your Proximity features are not working on your smart key, then the cause is that the Dealership or Locksmith has programmed the key to your vehicle’s computer but has not updated the key into the OTHER computer inside your car that is dedicated to proximity keyless-go features. In order to fix this issue, have your Programmer REINITIALIZE the PCM (Proximity Control Module) and your vehicle’s computer will synchronize so ALL features work on your vehicle.

Yes!  Most keyless entry remote systems allow up to 4 remotes to be programmed to a single vehicle, but some may only allow 2. To verify how many remotes your car allows–contact your local Dealership with the VIN number of your vehicle.

90 Day Repair or Replace – If your remote quits working within 90 Days of the date of receipt, we’ll repair it or replace it with a new one for free.
No Restock Fees, Ever – Unlike the other guys, we don’t make you pay for a buying mistake.

Yes! We ONLY sell original factory/manufacturer electronic keyless entry remotes. We sell both new and used remotes.  Just like those from your local dealer but for less, usually you save about 70% or around $100 (or more for “smart” proximity keys)!

OEM – These products are manufactured by the Original Equipment Manufacturer.  Meaning the company that supplied the original factory version of your remote for your vehicle.  These products are high quality and superior to “replacement” remotes being sold on the market.  If it says “replacement,” then it isn’t an OEM remote made specifically for your vehicle.

We can not confirm this for you. In order to check whether a keyless entry system is installed on your vehicle by calling a local Dealership with your VIN.  Then just search for the Part Number supplied by the Dealership on our website.  If you’re having issues finding the remote on our website, feel free to contact us and we’ll do what we can to assist [email protected].
