Clear answers
For beginners, you can expect to pay somewhere between $30 and $150 to have your fob device programmed. Why the wide price difference? There are several factors that go into establishing a price. The most prominent factors include the make/model/year of the car, the availability of a new fob, and the type of fob device. Note: programming for later-model cars tends to fall at the higher end of the pricing spectrum.
