Push-Button Start Fobs
20-Min Average Response Time Actual arrival varies by location, traffic, and call volume.
Push-button-start fobs authorize starting on compatible vehicles while the fob is detected. Entry, emergency access, walk-away locking, and other functions depend on the vehicle and its settings.
Mobile Locksmith Pros offers push-button-start fob replacement and programming when the vehicle-specific system is supported. Call with the vehicle details and working-key status so compatibility and the required work can be confirmed.
How Push-Button Start Systems Work
Keyless Entry
A compatible vehicle may detect the fob nearby and permit entry according to its settings. Detection range and walk-away locking vary by vehicle.
Push-Button Start
A compatible vehicle can authorize starting while the enrolled fob is detected. The controls, prompts, and backup procedure vary by vehicle.
Security Features
The fob must be compatible with the vehicle and enrolled through the procedure required by that key system.
Emergency Access
Many push-button-start fobs include an emergency key blade, but the location and emergency procedure vary by vehicle.
Information Needed to Check Compatibility
Vehicle details
Have the year, make, model, and VIN when available. Vehicles from the same brand can use different key systems.
Existing fob
Share the identifier printed on the existing fob when available and describe which buttons or functions still work.
Working-key status
Say whether a working key or fob remains. All-keys-lost requests may require a different vehicle-specific procedure.
When Do You Need Push-Button Start Service?
Lost Your Fob
If a push-button-start fob is lost, replacement and programming options depend on the vehicle-specific system and whether another working key remains.
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
Battery life varies by fob and use. A weak battery can affect remote operation; the vehicle-specific emergency procedure may still use an emergency key blade or backup starting method. Check the vehicle documentation for its procedure.
Solution: Battery replacement or new fob
Need a Spare
A compatible spare can provide another option if the primary fob is lost or damaged. The vehicle determines how additional fobs are enrolled and how many it supports.
Solution: Additional push-button start fob programmed

Push-Button Start Questions
How long does push-button-start fob programming take?
Requirements depend on the vehicle-specific system. The technician checks the functions supported by that vehicle after programming.
What if no working key remains?
An all-keys-lost request may require a different procedure from adding a spare. Call with the vehicle details so availability, required access, and the quote can be confirmed.
What if the fob battery dies?
Check the vehicle documentation for its emergency-entry and starting procedure. Many fobs include an emergency blade, but the procedure and available service depend on the vehicle and fob.
Will existing keys remain active?
Whether existing keys remain active and how many fobs can be enrolled depend on the vehicle-specific system and requested programming procedure.
