So the unlock button on my key fob is defective (all other buttons work). I can still turn my car on like normally with it. If I were to buy a new key fob, would the technique in the video allow me to use a new key fob if I put the old key inside the new fob?
my key still works and everything but it’s starting too be hard too unlock i wanna order a new key if i do the new key and old key will both start my car right?
@Motorcarnut Didn't work. Was having problems before. It would only lock all doors and unlock the trunk, only. Now, it does nothing. The emergency key will lock and set the alarm but will not disarm the alarm when I turn the key counter clockwise.
If I buy a new key shell with the board, and carry over the transponder and blade from old key, will this work to program the new board? I.e the transponder and blade are original to the car, but new plastic shell and circuit board
@@motorcarnut thanks mate. What I ended up doing instead was fixing my board by soldering the broken lock button back on, and then carrying the board and transponder into a new shell that I got for €10 on Amazon
If you tried the procedure in the video and it doesn't work for you, make sure battery in remote is good. Can be the lock actuator has gone bad. You can use the mechanical key to open and close the doors in the meantime.
@@motorcarnut how do I get it cut? Or do I need a new lock and blade? I basically can't lock my car or get into it when the remote un-syncs. I can't get the car to remember the fob without a key blade?
My key’s buttons don’t work at all but the little red light comes on when I press the buttons (because of my replaced battery), but my manual key is chipped at the end and won’t allow the key to insert into the door. Any suggestions?? I haven’t been able to lock my car for over a week! 😭🙏🏼

The key will have a chip that needs to be programed by an auto locksmith or dealer. This video is for reprogramming the original remote.
@@motorcarnutah poop and i just ordered a key😢
it worked, thanks!!
Great! Thank you!
Thank you so much its opérationnel
Glad it worked! You're welcome!
@@motorcarnut yes 👍 from morocoo
Awesome! Hi Morocco!!
i have one question and thats very important for me if i buy a new key for my car can i program it with this video and use it normally?
No, this is about reprogramming, not initial programming.
@@motorcarnut okay thanks
@TRENDY_P no problem
Smashed the driver window instead now it's working 😂😅
Wow, probably a bad window motor
Did work. Battery is new. Any guesses.
Did or didn’t work? If it didn’t work then it’s probably the remote itself

WORKS!!!
Great! thanks for the feedback!
Gracias 🫂
Thank you too!
Can you program a new key the same way?
No
Thank you
You're welcome
My key doesn't work in the door and can't lock or unlock the car
Try some penetrating oil, because normally we don’t use the key lock anymore because of keyless entry and they get corroded.
The locks have been changed
@zakikhan798 that’s your problem perhaps
How do I take off the lil cap to expose my key port
I said there is a little slot under the trim piece and just pops off
If I buy a new key shell with the board, and carry over the transponder and blade from old key, will this work to program the new board?
I.e the transponder and blade are original to the car, but new plastic shell and circuit board
In that case it should

@vaughangilligan2000 awesome! Save money that way!
If my secondary key doesn't actually unlock the car because its a spare what do i do mext

Welcome!
Brilliant. Owe you a slab of beer if you ever visit Australia
That sounds like a plan! Thanks
The key doesn’t fit in the key hole
Unrelated to video
My lock button has suddenly stopped working
If a reprogram doesn't work and can be the remote button itself that is worn out.
What if car doesn’t start with key.
Probably has a security key issue. Should be codes if you do, if not auto locksmith or dealer
My plastic key is blank?
Not supposed to be.
@@motorcarnut how do I get it cut? Or do I need a new lock and blade? I basically can't lock my car or get into it when the remote un-syncs. I can't get the car to remember the fob without a key blade?
@troygardner8870 an auto locksmith
@@motorcarnut thanks I had it cut yesterday and they even cut me a metal spare! And it wasn't even that expensive!
@troygardner8870 great to hear that!
🎉a mi no me funcionó lo intenté varias veces
Can be a bad remote if you followed the directions correctly.
My key’s buttons don’t work at all but the little red light comes on when I press the buttons (because of my replaced battery), but my manual key is chipped at the end and won’t allow the key to insert into the door. Any suggestions?? I haven’t been able to lock my car for over a week! 😭🙏🏼
If the programming in the video doesn’t help you need a new remote or locksmith.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you!
my manual key isn’t going inside the keyhole what do i do?
Try some wd40 penetrating oil, let sit for a while, then working key back and forth.
This works, thanks!
Glad it helped! And you are welcome!
Thank you
You're welcome!
