Car lockouts and key options
Car key systems differ by year and trim. A standard metal key, transponder, proximity fob, or push-to-start setup can require different equipment and parts. Describe the dashboard message or ignition problem if the key turns but the vehicle will not start.
We cannot promise a replacement or programming for every vehicle before checking compatibility and availability. Call with the VIN if you have it handy, but do not delay a lockout call to locate it.
