2012 - key fob replacement

Postby hyletx » Tue Sep 06, 2016 3:43 am

Hello,

Glad there's a forum like this.

I recently determined that my key fob had water damage due to a crack/tear in the button. I thought it might be a battery issue but found the water damage when I inspected the circuit board of the remote. I am wondering if the following would work for my vehicle.

It says mine is covered but I'd like to be sure. Can I program new remotes using the method they suggest (essentially locking vehicle and inserting keys upwards of 6-10 times until the hazards flash : https://youtu.be/30TBRP1Mn5w)?

Thank you for any response.

That should work it looks exactly like the remote/remotes that came with my 2012 when I bought it used with around 7,500 miles.
