SOURCE: key fob will not undo

If you don't have one that works for the vehicle now, you'll have to take it to your local dealer to have it programmed to the vehicle. Some will charge for this, some will do it at no charge.

If you do have a remote that is programmed and working for the vehicle, then the following steps will allow you to program another remote:

1. Enter vehicle and close all doors.

2. Put seatbelt on (or clip it into the buckle) to shut the warning buzzer off.

3. Put key in ignition, turn to run position but don't start it.

4. Press and hold the unlock button on the working key fob and hold for 4 seconds, then also press the panic button.

5. Release both buttons and you should hear a single chime to indicate it is in program mode. You have 30 seconds after the chime to program any additional remotes you want to program.

6. Press and release both the unlock and lock buttons simultaneously on the remote you are programming. You should hear another single chime.

7. Within 4 seconds after hearing the chime, press either lock or unlock button on remote that you are programming.

2011 Proton Savvy. Hi I have broken the key fob after locking the car. If I open the door with the key will it set the alarm off and if so how can I switch it off?

Opening the door with the key should turn the alarm off. It is the certified way to get into a car if the key fob remote fails. Get a local auto locksmith to get you a new fob and key and program it. Keep the old one as a spare key.

Dodge Intrepid. How do I start my Intrepid if the alarm stopped it from starting? I lost my key fob and it says that my key code doesn't match but I have always used this key.

The key fob unlocks the doors and turns the alarm and immobilizer off. Your key goes in the ignition and starts it, but the fob isn't present. Call out a mobile auto locksmith or a car alarm / radio installer. They can sell you a fob and program the key.

2004 mg zr had to disconnect battery also replace the key fob case. When i reconnected the battery the alarm went off. Fob won't turn it off Can i use the key only to turn alarm and immobiliser off

Try disconnecting the battery and leaving it overnight. Unlock the car, insert the ignition key and switch on - then reconnect the battery.

That sometimes works. If it doesn't you will need some experienced advice and specialist help. Rover/MG usually needed to be opened by whatever locked the car to avoid the alarm sounding. If the key was used to lock it, then using the key to unlock should be ok though I seem to remember the alarm will sound after a short time if the key isn't put into the ignition and switched on fairly quickly.

So then i thought the battery on my key was about dead so I started to use the key instead of the button which has been fine for months but tonight I went to unlock it with the key and the alarm went off!...

If mine, I would get a new key fob from dealer or possibly a locksmith. I think the key and or the security reciever need to be reprogrammed.

Lost set of keys, alarm was on car locked. Found spare key only, it will open door, alarm goes off, but the key won't start engine. It will turn in ignition, but dead! It's a Chevy HHR 2006! HELP

Close the doors. Lock the doors using the buttons on the key fob. Use the fob to again unlock the doors. The key should then work the ignition. If this will not work, you will have to tow your vehicle to the dealer and buy a new key and/or fob and have it programmed to the vehicle.

Won't start, could it be fob or engine?

Try not using the fob at all open the door with the key. And start the jeep if it works without issue then its the fob. If its still not working correctly remove the battery from the fob and try again(since if it was damaged could be sending the signal for the panic button) the next step is the key try your spare security key can become worn and cause issues with the antitheft system. After that it only leaves computer problems and those can get spendy

2003 Monte Carlo SS, FOBS won't unlock doors (new batterries), use key and open the door with the door open FOB will lock and unlock the door, shut the door and the FOB won't lock the doors. After...

If the passkey is messed up, there will be a light on the dash that says security, or have a picture of a car with a lock thru it. If there is no light when the key is turned forward, then its NOT a passkey problem.
