Why Push-to-Start Keys Cost More
Push-to-start keys are more expensive because they contain complex proximity chips and require advanced programming equipment. Unlike traditional keys, these fobs combine physical key components with encrypted wireless technology, increasing replacement costs.

Have you lost or damaged your key fob?
Types of Push-to-Start Keys
There are two main types: proximity fobs and smart keys. Proximity fobs allow keyless entry and ignition when near the car. Smart keys add advanced security features like rolling codes and RFID chips to prevent unauthorized access.
Common Failures
Push-to-start keys can fail due to a dead battery, lost signal from interference, or corrupted programming. These issues prevent the car from recognizing the fob, causing starting trouble or lockout.
