Replacement vs. Reprogramming
When a key fob stops working, the issue is usually one of two things: the fob itself needs to be replaced because it's physically lost or damaged beyond repair, or it needs to be reprogrammed because it exists but has lost its pairing with the vehicle.
Key fob replacement means supplying a new fob unit and programming it to your vehicle. Key fob reprogramming means taking an existing or compatible fob and syncing it to your vehicle's immobilizer system, which is often faster and more affordable when the fob is physically intact.
