A.) Car key fobs, also known as smart keys, proxy keys or remote key fobs, just like transponder keys, need to be coded/programmed to start the vehicle. In addition, you must cut the emergency key before you can program the key fob. All car keys fobs, including high-security models like BMW, Audi, Mercedes, etc require a special machine to program the key.

However, you will have to get the emergency key cut first, which, you will need the help of a locksmith or dealer. for more information about onboard programming please visit: Program
