Push-button start fobs are keyless ignition systems that let you start your vehicle with the press of a button - no key insertion needed. Just keep the fob in your pocket or purse, press the start button, and your engine starts. It's the ultimate in convenience and modern vehicle technology.

Mobile Locksmith Pros programs and replaces push-button start fobs for all modern vehicles throughout El Paso, TX. These sophisticated systems require specialized programming equipment and expertise - we have both and can handle all makes and models.

How Push-Button Start Systems Work

🔑 Keyless Entry

The fob communicates with your vehicle via radio frequency. When you're near the car (within 3-6 feet), it automatically unlocks. Walk away and it locks automatically.

🚗 Push-Button Start

Keep the fob in your pocket, press the brake pedal, and press the start button. The vehicle detects the fob and starts the engine. No key insertion needed.

🔒 Security Features

The system uses encrypted communication between the fob and vehicle. Each fob is uniquely programmed and can't be duplicated without proper equipment.

🔋 Emergency Access

Every push-button start fob has a physical key blade hidden inside for emergency access if the battery dies or the system malfunctions.

When Do You Need Push-Button Start Service?

🔑 Lost Your Fob

Lost your push-button start fob? We can program a new one. These fobs are more expensive than basic fobs but we still save you 40-60% vs. dealership prices.

Solution: New push-button start fob programmed

🚗 Key Not Detected

If your vehicle says "key not detected" or the push-button start won't work, the fob may need reprogramming or the vehicle's receiver may need repair.

Solution: Fob reprogramming or system repair

🔋 Dead Battery

Push-button start fobs have batteries that last 2-5 years. When the battery dies, you can still use the emergency key blade, but keyless entry and push-button start won't work.

Solution: Battery replacement or new fob

🔑 Need a Spare

Want a backup push-button start fob? We can program additional fobs for your vehicle. Having a spare prevents lockouts and gives you peace of mind.

Solution: Additional push-button start fob programmed

Push-Button Start Questions

How long does push-button start fob programming take?

Push-button start fob programming takes 30-60 minutes. These advanced systems require more complex programming than basic fobs, including ignition system synchronization and range testing. We work efficiently while ensuring everything works perfectly.

Can you program a push-button start fob if I don't have any working keys?

Yes, but it's more complex. We can program push-button start fobs even without working keys, but it requires accessing the vehicle's computer system directly. This may take longer and cost slightly more, but it's still doable on-site.

What if my push-button start fob battery dies?

If the battery dies, you can still use the emergency key blade hidden inside the fob to unlock and start the vehicle. We can replace the battery for $10-$20, or if the fob is damaged, we can program a new one.

Will a new push-button start fob work with my existing keys?

Yes! New push-button start fobs are programmed to work with your vehicle's existing key system. Your old keys will still work, and the new fob will work alongside them. You can have multiple push-button start fobs for the same vehicle.
