Key remote dead (I already searched)
Key fob died today. I can start the car but the remote doesn't work at all to turn off the shitty alarm they put in these things. Replaced the coin battery and no dice. Not willing to re-test if it still starts the car right now because if the alarm goes off there's nothing I can do about it and it arms itself whether or not the car is locked.
Done the cursory research/read the threads through the years that google dredged up but the problem is those are for if you lost the key. I have the key; the problem is the remote dying and being unable to shut the alarm up (what kind of alarm doesn't fuck off when you turn the car on with the fucking transponder key??). Can I buy an aftermarket fob and have it programmed or do I need to buy an OEM key?
Just trying to gauge how fucked I am.
