Key Fob Replacement
I have 2016 CX5 and just lost one key fob and afraid the founder will use it to enter my car. Is there a way to recode the one I still have and buy another one and have a locksmith reprogram both? Greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Yes. As soon as you go to reprogram your remote, any other remotes are automatically deleted.
|
Thanks. Glad to know. Is reprogramming a DIY task. Plan to buy replacement key fob from Amazon and it should come with instructions for reprogramming. also a blank key that will come with it may be made at Lowes. Is this sound ok? Any suggestion on where is the best place to get the replacement?

Programming the key is computer controlled, it requires security codes to enter programming mode.
|
I still have the metal tag that came with the key, with the security code (4 digits). I think I am ready to order the new fob. Thank you all for the help.
|
That tag is only for the cutting of the key blade. Its got nothing to do with the remote or the imobiliser system
|
Thanks, Grim_reaper. You mentioned "it requires security codes to enter programming mode". Do I need a locksmith to do this or DIY? If diy, where can I find the security code?
|
Definitely not DIY.
Some locksmiths may have the software. |
