What Is a Proximity Key?

A proximity or smart key is designed to communicate automatically with your vehicle through secure short-range signals. It unlocks doors and enables push-button ignition when nearby. If the key is damaged, out of sync, or lost, your car’s immobilizer won’t allow it to start—professional locksmith programming restores that connection.

When to Request Service

• The fob fails to unlock or start your vehicle
• “Key Not Detected” appears on screen
• Buttons or sensors no longer respond
• You’ve either lost your only keyless remote or it has been stolen.
• The remote is heavily worn
