    Hey there! Does anyone have any tips on what to do if a key is missing. I had two keys and someone took the other one and I don't think I'll be getting it back. Is there any way to deactivate the key so they can't get into my car? Wasn't sure if this was something I could fix or if I had to get a new set from the dealer. HELP!!!!!!

    I think you'd likely have to have the dealer reprogram your vehicle with your remaining keym t
    This should erase the lost key.

    I assume you are referring to a lost fob. Please note that a replacement costs ~$300 (including labor time needed to program the vehicle to recognize the replacement fob), so this is not a trivial matter.

    If you really cannot retrieve the lost fob, then I suggest you visit your dealer to purchase a replacement (so that you are not out-of-luck if you lose your remaining fob), and to have the lost fob removed from the security system's memory.
