You can either replace the fob and not keep anything of value in the car if it does get stolen or go the most expensive way and have it re-keyed which include two new remotes with mechanical keys along with them changing the lock on the driver side door.

I'd take my chances with option 1 and simply avoid the location where they were lost for a while.

You may even check with some of the store employees there and see if anyone turned it in by chance worth a shot

I don't believe you can start the car without the key part of the fob. It will allow you to open to doors but I'm pretty sure you need the entire assembly to start the engine.

When you have the new fob programmed (which you can pick up and have done at a dealer) it should kill the old fob.

Have to disagree on the key part.

The key is only to allow you to unlock and lock.

The fob is the brains and will start the vehicle without the key in it.

Try it?

Yeah trips is right, fob only will start the car. The key is to lock the glove box or the doors incase the fob dies

Edit - plus if you lost ONLY the fob couldn't you just get your fobs reprogrammed? if you bought a new fob it'd have to be reprogrammed anyway... Don't need to change the actual key locks if he's still got both keys

lol, we both share our 2 cars and make monthly payments for them. I'd say i would consider her more of a wife than a gf since we have been together
for about 4 years and live together.




I'm gonna have it reprogrammed tomorrow, gonna make her go in to the dealership.

You could pick up a used fob on the forum and have that programmed too, would be cheaper than buying a new fob

If you get another fob, you'll have to have your spare and your new one programmed at the same time.
