Question 1

Can you program a key fob for my car?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Falcon Locksmith programs OEM and aftermarket key fobs for many vehicles from 1998 to current model year. Lock, unlock, panic, trunk, remote start where supported — all buttons tested before we leave.

Question 2

How much does key fob programming cost?

Accepted Answer

Service call starts at $49. Programming-only (you already have the fob) is typically far less than replacing plus programming. Every job is quoted before we begin, on-site across Denver Metro.

Question 3

Can you program a fob I bought on Amazon or eBay?

Accepted Answer

Yes, usually. Bring the fob and we'll verify part-number compatibility before programming. Some cheap knock-offs have counterfeit electronics that won't pair — we'll tell you before charging and won't push you toward a fob we know will fail.

Question 4

Can you program OEM key fobs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Manufacturer fobs are the first choice when budget allows because the electronics are matched to the vehicle. Bring your own OEM fob or we can source one for you.

Question 5

Can you program aftermarket key fobs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in many cases. OEM-quality aftermarket fobs cost less and work on many vehicles. A handful of late-model European vehicles reject aftermarket electronics; we confirm compatibility before you spend money.

Question 6

Why isn't my key fob working?

Accepted Answer

Most fob failures are a dead battery, broken button contacts, or a fob that has fallen out of sync with the vehicle. We diagnose on-site — battery, resync, or full reprogramming — and fix the actual cause instead of guessing.

Question 7

How long does fob programming take?

Accepted Answer

Typical fob programming is 15–45 minutes on-site. Vehicles that require online authorization from the manufacturer (some late-model European models) take longer.

Question 8

Do I need all my existing keys for programming?

Accepted Answer

Not always, but bring them if you have them. Some vehicles let us add a fob without erasing existing keys; others require every existing key present to keep them alive. We'll tell you which category yours falls into before starting.

Question 9

Can you program remote start fobs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. OEM remote start integrated into your key fob is programmed on-site. Aftermarket remote start systems (installed alarms/starters) are handled separately.

Question 10

Do you replace fob batteries?

Accepted Answer

Yes — battery replacement is a routine part of any fob programming visit. If a dead battery is your entire problem, we swap it and skip the reprogramming charge.

Question 11

Do you come to me in Denver Metro?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Fully mobile across Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Arvada, Westminster, Thornton, Boulder, Broomfield, Englewood, and 30+ nearby cities. Home, work, or public parking lot — we bring the programming equipment.
