How can I determine if used car purchased is programmed for a key fob?

First, does it have power locks and newer than 1990. If yes, you most likely have a car that has a remote option. Second, look up the vin and see if it was an option on your car.

That's standard equipment for nearly every vehicle now. If you have power locks you can most definitely use a key fob.

I would add to my previous answer that none of the keys with chips in them come programmed, they always need to be programmed when you purchase them new as each vehicle is uniquely coded.

This key fob is ready to program and use. You must have a working key fob to program it yourself otherwise you will have to take it to the dealer. Hope this helps :)

I bought a blank key fob for a 2008 Altima, a dealer had to reprogram it. I found a significant difference in what dealers charge, so you may want to check.

You do not need the factory code. Cycle the key 7 times and the doors will lock. Press the unlock button on the FOB and it will be programmed.

Yes, this would be the correct key fob. I've seen them priced from $39.95 to $75.00. All electronics are in there but you do have to pay the dealer/ locksmith a fee to program the remote so it "recognizes" you car. That you will need to shop around to see who the most reasonable. Hope that helps! Dave B Chicago,IL.

That is going to depend on whether it is the same FCC/part number and whether there are any other issues with your old fob. Your best bet- if you are certain of the FCC/Part number- is to have the new key cut and programmed since you will need to purchase the key in its entirety anyhow. -Keyless4u

No it will not program keys. What it does is read the cars computer for codes and give you the option to clear those code from the computer.

You can check your vehicles RPO sticker. If it is equipped with keyless entry, the code will start with AUo. Or, you can call your dealer or a dealer specified to your make and model. Based on your VIN number, they can determine for you whether it is keyless entry or not.

Call Discount Keyless at 1-800-308-3775. They should be able to tell you whether it is compatible or not. It has the "+" symbol indicating a transponder key. Each car has different computers, different security codes, etc. I bought a transponder key, then had it cut by a locksmith for $2 and I programmed it myself with their directions (you need to have a functioning key to program the new key). It worked fine. It frustrated the locksmith because he wanted to charge $55 for a replacement key. I purchased key fobs as well. They work extremely well. The only downside is the printing on the keys fades quicker than I would anticipate.

Yes this one has not been programmed, just use your key and go to any dealer to connect code

I have not done the programming as in the mean time I have found the second key.My understandign is that the FOB need to be programmed in the car. Your service people mut have a tool for it. When I asked they said it will cost ~60AUD. Brgde George Vaskovics

I don't think so. You have to take your key and the new fob to a Saab dealership/repair center and have it programmed (my imports mechanic - who is a gift from god when it comes to keeping my Saab in good shape for half the dealership rates couldn't even hook me up regarding the new fob. He sent me to the dealership).

Unfortunately, if it is a brand new fob that has not been programed before. You will need to take it to.a dealership or lock smith to program it to your car. They have to remove a part of the dash & connect jumper wires to set it. U may find someone who can do it for less at your near by lobos shop... My dealership charged &50 & my local lobos charged & $25.

I would say yes. It stopped working 2 months after I paid extra money to get it programmed. I feel like I was cheated out my money. The company wouldn't even give me a refund or exchange. I ended going to the dealer and paying 200.00 more dollars for a key fob.

I got a key fob but I haven't programmed it yet! looks like the right one. Don't know for sure. but I've been told that there are some locksmith's out there that would do it for a lot less than the price of a dealership. good luck

HI, have a factory installed keyless entry and the FCCID # is a match to your original. It will work for your vehicle.
