Bought a fob online? Need a spare? Fob gone silent? Our Cypress techs program key fobs to most makes right at the car, and every button is tested before we hand it back.
Cypress Locksmith
A key fob looks simple until the car refuses to know it. Dealer programming lines, mystery menu sequences, and YouTube rituals that work for one year and not yours, key fob programming in Cypress is exactly the kind of job a mobile locksmith exists for. We bring the diagnostic programmers to your car and pair the fob properly, through the car's own system.
Cypress Locksmith (licensed team behind Golden Locks, CA License LCO4446) programs fobs for most Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and BMW models, plus many more. Bring your own fob or take one from our van stock, either way, lock, unlock, trunk, panic, and remote start are tested with you standing there.
One warning we give for free: when your only working fob dies, many cars require an all-keys procedure that costs more. Programming a spare while one still works is the cheap move, and it takes minutes.
Services
Programming, diagnosis, and rescue, if it talks to your car, we speak its language.

How it works
Call (657) 689-1515 with make, model, and year, and tell us if any fob still works. That decides the procedure.
One number for the programming, stated up front. No hourly meter.
The fob is programmed through the car's system, usually in under 30 minutes.
Lock, unlock, trunk, panic, and start, proven with you before we leave.
Local & proud
We program fobs in the Cypress College lots for students who bought a spare online, at the Katella Ave centers for shoppers whose fob died mid-errand, and in driveways off Walker St and Cerritos Ave where the second family fob has been 'missing' for a year. Because the work happens at the car, there is no second trip and no leaving your vehicle at a counter all day.
Race nights at Los Alamitos Race Course keep us busy too, a fob dropped in the dark is either found by morning or erased and replaced by us before it becomes someone else's key to your car.
Good to know
Internet fobs are a gamble worth taking carefully: the case may match yours while the chip and frequency do not, and some fobs lock to the first car they meet and can never be re-paired. Send us the part number or a photo before you buy, we will confirm it fits your exact model and year, free.
If the fob is right, programming it is quick and the savings versus dealer stock are real. If it is wrong, better to know before the return window closes than while standing in a parking lot.
Call now and a licensed Cypress tech can be on the way, with the price locked in before we start.

Good questions
Usually, yes, if it is the correct part and frequency for your car and has never been paired to another vehicle. Tell us the make, model, and year on the call and we will flag any known problem parts.
Not always. A dead battery is the most common cause and costs little to fix. If the board is damaged or the car has forgotten the fob, we diagnose first and only replace what is actually broken.
Most jobs take 15 to 30 minutes at the car. Cars that need an all-keys-lost procedure take longer, and we quote that up front.
Yes, until it is erased. We can wipe missing fobs from your car's memory so they no longer unlock or start it. Bring the fobs you still have; the car relearns only those.
Yes, for most makes. Smart keys are priced by model, call with your year and trim and you will get an exact figure.
All the fobs you own for that car (the car relearns them together), plus your registration and photo ID for ownership verification.
