Need a replacement remote or another smart key? A-I Locksmith and Security offers key fob assessment and programming across Dallas–Fort Worth. Call with your vehicle details and whether the fob is new, used, damaged, or no longer recognized.
Request service: Call (817) 760-2420. Tell us your city and what happened. We confirm availability, the estimated response time, and the work required for your request.
Compatibility comes before programming
A remote can look identical to your current one and still be incompatible. Vehicle year, model, system configuration, and the fob’s identifiers matter. Ask us to confirm compatibility before purchasing a fob online. Some previously paired keys cannot be reused with another vehicle.
A failed fob may have several causes
A depleted battery, damaged buttons, a lost pairing, or a vehicle-side fault can produce similar symptoms. Tell us whether the car starts, whether the remote buttons work intermittently, and whether a second key works normally. We assess the problem before recommending replacement or programming.
Test the functions that apply to your vehicle
After programming, check remote lock and unlock, starting authorization, and other supported functions with the technician. Some fobs also contain an emergency blade that needs to be cut separately. Ask what is included in the quote so you know whether both electronic and mechanical access are covered.
Common questions
Can you program a customer-supplied fob?
Contact us with the vehicle and fob details first. Compatibility, condition, and reuse restrictions determine whether it can be programmed.
Is replacing the battery the same as programming?
No. A battery supplies power; programming pairs a compatible key with the vehicle. The required fix depends on the cause of the problem.
