Hi.

the fob probably needs to be rematched to the car again.
EASY>>>>>



Reprogramming an X-Type Key Fob.

Step 1
Open the
driver side door.
Step 2
Turn the ignition switch to the
'auxiliary' position, then turn the ignition switch to the 'ON' position and
back to the 'auxiliary' position four times. *This must be done fairly quickly.
If you have done it correctly, you will hear a chime come from the
GEM*
Step 3
Turn the ignition switch to 'OFF' position.
Step
4

Remove the key from the ignition.
Step 5
To program the
transmitter, press any key within ten seconds. **If it worked, you should hear
another chime come from the GEM**
Step 6
Close the door...YOU'RE
DONE!
I have done this on my dads x type. it does work. do not forget to have the drivers door open like i did.

SOURCE: how do you change battery in key fob on 2002 vw golf

No problem. The key fob is two pieces. The key part and the remote. Open the key as you would to sue it. Where the key flips open you can see a small recess about where the line of the trunck switch. This is where the key separates. You can pull it off or pry it with a small screwdriver. Once separated with remote part in your hand this also splits in 2. In the same area you split the key off insert the screwdriver in this recess and the fob will open giving you access to the battery. Also can be done by hand. It is a little tight so you will have to force which is normal. No screws just clipped. Make sure the battery is positioned in the right way and that you have 3 volts when you test the battery. 2.7 volts will make the remote not work or act funny.

SOURCE: key fob will not undo

If you don't have one that works for the vehicle now, you'll have to take it to your local dealer to have it programmed to the vehicle. Some will charge for this, some will do it at no charge.

If you do have a remote that is programmed and working for the vehicle, then the following steps will allow you to program another remote:

1. Enter vehicle and close all doors.

2. Put seatbelt on (or clip it into the buckle) to shut the warning buzzer off.

3. Put key in ignition, turn to run position but don't start it.

4. Press and hold the unlock button on the working key fob and hold for 4 seconds, then also press the panic button.

5. Release both buttons and you should hear a single chime to indicate it is in program mode. You have 30 seconds after the chime to program any additional remotes you want to program.

6. Press and release both the unlock and lock buttons simultaneously on the remote you are programming. You should hear another single chime.

7. Within 4 seconds after hearing the chime, press either lock or unlock button on remote that you are programming.

Try reprogramming it.

1. Turn the ignition from OFF to RUN 4 times within 6 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition OFF. The system will chime to confirm programming mode.
3. Within 20 seconds, press any button on first keyless remote.
The system will chime once to confirm programming.

4. Within 20 seconds, press any button on second keyless remote.
System will chime once to confirm programming.

5. Turn ignition to RUN to exit programming mode.

Changed battery on my key fob and it won't work

What is year--make--model?
The key fob is a transmitter so there has to be a receiver in the vehicle. At the moment, I can't tell if problem with transmitter or receiver? Can you try a different key fob? Where applicable, if key fob needs to be programmed, maybe the info is in your owners manual?

Fob key wont work just replaced battery in fob and keys wont lock manually either, car has been standing for awhile.

Key fobs can be tricking and even something as simple as changing the battery can cause some issues. The good news is there are a few tricks to try before you panic.

1) The old car battery reset trick
I know this sounds absurd, but it works sometimes and is worth trying. If you exhausted all of the options above, disconnect bot terminals on your car battery for 10 minutes. Then reconnect them and try your key fob. This has worked for many people and I have no idea why. If you do, please comment below to explain.

2) Get it checked
Go to your local hardware store like AutoZone or Oreilly's. They usually have a RF frequency tester. This little gadget will let you know if your key fob is sending a signal. If it is, you may need to reprogram your key fob to your vehicle

3) Make sure the battery in the key fob is installed correctl
Try turning the battery upside down. If you have the positive end on the negative terminal it is not going to work.

Hopefully one of these tips will get the key fob working again. If not you can always purchase a replacement key fob online from

I changed my car battery, now my 2008 Nissan Altima key fob won't work

There is a special procedure involved in keying your fob to your car once the battery has been changed. You must lock and open the door with your key. Turn the ignition to "on"(not start) then push the fob's open and close button, then shut off ignition. This procedure is done everything the key battery is changed. Hope this can help you!

2007 Toyota Avalon key fob will not unlock doors

I have a few troubleshooting tips for your #Toyota Avalon key fob.

First things first, make sure it's YOUR key fob (and you didn't accidentally grab your mom's keys!).

Change the battery

Batteries don't last forever, you'll be surprised how often it's just a dead battery! Search our YouTube channel on how to change a key fob battery for your specific year, make, and model!

Wipe the board
The board inside your remote can get a lot more filthy than you think! When the board is dirty it can prohibit the contact to the circuit board when you push down on the button. Simply wiping the circuit board off can make your key fob like new again!

The old car battery reset trick
I know this sounds absurd, but it works sometimes and is worth trying. If you exhausted all of the options above, disconnect both terminals on your car battery for 10 minutes. Then reconnect them and try your key fob. This has worked for many people and I have no idea why. If you do, please comment below to explain.

New fob!
It might be time for a new key fob! No need to dread over the expensive costs of a new key fob, at Keyless Entry Remote Fob Inc., you can get a refurbished one for a very affordable price! You won't even be able to tell the difference. Just search your vehicle make, model, and year to purchase a key fob or give us a call at 402-671-5100.
