Why is key fob programming different in South County San Diego?
Chula Vista and San Ysidro mix domestic and import fobs. Some cars with cross-border history have non-U.S.-market immobilizer quirks. The locksmith should diagnose that on the car rather than treating it as routine U.S. programming.

- Pair replacement fobs with aftermarket remote-start systems only when that system is identified and supported
- Diagnose push-button start issues that may involve the fob, immobilizer, or another vehicle system
