Will a smart key fob in this hidden keycase effect the locking or unlocking of the car?

Depends on your car and the proximity sensor. On most cars it would be a bad idea.

You must ensure that your local locksmith can "cut" the shape of the original key, just like the you do a copy of your home keys. The second part is to ensure that the locksmith have de machine that connects to car and duplicate the code inside the chip and also can copy that code into the new key. The connection plug is below the steerring wheel, for me works with no problem!, good luck

JT, sorry for the delay. I cannot help you, because I immediately removed the key ring, because I do not like noises in my car. The car key case works perfectly and every time, after I close my car, I put the key in my bag.

I don't believe it would, it's a really simple oem replacement key fob meant to just lock and unlock. It wouldn't be able to be programmed with something more complicated like a security system.

Yes. You need the current key to be able to re-key the lock so as long as you have that and the smartkey tool you can re-key the lock.

I use it w a keyless fob and it works fine. There has been no negative impact on the key.

Yes, unless you hold the latch down until you take the key out and close the door. Once the latch is released, the latch locks. It doesn't matter if the door is in an open or closed position.

With my ford escape I didn't need a code. I turned the key on and off 8 times, leaving it on the last time. Then the car locked and unlocked, at which pointI hit any button and it worked for my vehicle.

If u have an alarm u will need to bypass that though for keyless entry system to work properly

Yes, to program it turn the ignition to aux mode on and off 10 times the doors will look and then unlock, within 5 seconds push the lock button to program it

I think so. Not 100% sure what you mean by 'unlock/lock button'.I find it handy for leaving my house key in my drawer at work.

It will erase it's memory. You have to have all key fobs present that you want to work. While programming you must activate each key fob including the ones from the factory.

It should be able to lock and unlock your car and if you know what you are doing or the installer who is installing this, you can connect your aux to say open the trunk. If your car keys have a little chip inside them, then you will need to buy an extra module that bi-passes the chip. Otherwise if your keys do not have a chip in them you should be able to do remote start with no extra modules. You can do a quick Google to see if your keys have a chip in them usually they are bigger because of the chip.

No, Not at all, I had to take it to the dealership, after tried to resync to my car, the dealership told me this product is off-market product and they could not used it. I have to buy a new keyless fob at the dealership

Yes you have to lock it every time with key. It will not lock on its own, probably to prevent lockouts.

No, this tool will not help you with your key. It only scans trouble codes and resets some (but not all) cars' oil service, airbag, and check engine lights.

The short answer ? Don't buy it. Yes, understood that the key needs to programmed. But it's not as simple as sounds. The locksmith you go to would have to have the same equipment that the key understands. If their programmer is not from the same company, it will not communicate with this key. ALSO, if you get this key, DO NOT try it in your vehicle! Nissan AND a local locksmith both told me the same thing. It could shut your car off and have to be towed to the dealer. ($$$) Best thing to do is go to a local H/W store or other high tech key maker and have them do it.. Good Luck
