Recently got a 2013 CX-5. It came with two key fob remotes. The car has a pushbutton switch to turn the car on and off. I suppose it works with an rfib chip.
Even more recently I misplaced one of the fobs. It isn't in the car as the car won't start.
I'll keep looking for where I might have misplaced or dropped it. I've also been looking into replacements
Sounds like you can buy them, but then you need to take them to a dealer or locksmith to reprogram them and that they charge a lot. I see there are also OBD key programmers. Some a pretty high priced, others are quite cheap.
If there is an OBD programmer that also works with the newer OBDII scanners that has other functions like changing settings that also does the keys. It seems like if there are any that aren't too costly I might be better off buying one and then even if I don't need to make another key, I might be able to change some settings along with read trouble codes, etc. Maybe those are two separate things though.
I also see the the keyless remotes also have a mating key in them. I've read these keys need to be cut as well. So that is locksmith/dealer territory.
Anyone know what is involved in this?
