Buying a fob online for your DFW vehicle? Start by identifying what your car actually takes: FCC ID, chip family, blade profile and VIN. The wrong fob can't be programmed, no matter how closely it matches the photo. Send us your year, make, model and a photo of your existing key, and we'll confirm compatibility before anything is ordered. Ownership verification required.

Seeing an ignition lock, steering lock or key-not-detected warning on your Cayenne, Panamera or Macan? These Porsches use electronic switches, authorisation modules and a column-lock actuator — the warning text alone rarely pinpoints the cause. Not Your Basic Locksmith offers mobile diagnosis across Dallas–Fort Worth. Ownership verification required. Call with your model, year, VIN and the exact display message so we can confirm compatibility and next steps.

Replaced a Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe or Suburban ignition cylinder and now the engine cranks strongly but will not fire with the security light on? On PassLock-equipped GM trucks the body control module has to relearn the new sensor value, and a weak battery can make the procedure fail silently. The same symptom can appear after a flat battery on its own. Not Your Basic Locksmith works on GM columns, PassLock relearns, VATS harness faults and transponder key programming across the DFW metroplex at your vehicle. Compatibility depends on year, model and system, and ownership verification is required. Read the full guide, then call or text with your model, year, key type and whether the security light is on.

Fob stopped working, 'key not detected' at push-button start, doors cycling on their own, or several unrelated electrical faults the same week? Those can look like a dead key but often point at the body control module. Not Your Basic Locksmith diagnoses and programs BCMs alongside key and immobilizer work across the DFW metroplex, at your vehicle, with EEPROM-level capability when a module will not respond over the diagnostic port. Compatibility depends on year, model and system, so share your vehicle details and location when you reach out. Ownership verification is required. Call or text and describe the symptom, especially whether one fob failed or both, and we'll confirm availability.

Two Mercedes-Benz wearing the same badge can mean two very different key appointments. The chassis code, VIN characters four through six, points to the FBS generation, how your key talks to the EIS, and whether an electronic steering lock is in the start sequence. On FBS3 cars, independent spares and all-keys-lost are usually workable. On FBS4 cars, spares are routine with a working key, while all-keys-lost depends on the exact chassis and year. Share your model, year and VIN so we can confirm compatibility before anyone is dispatched, and please have ownership documents ready. Not Your Basic Locksmith is mobile across Dallas–Fort Worth. Message us with your vehicle details and location to check availability.

MINI Cooper ECU trouble across Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano or Frisco? MINI runs on BMW Group platforms underneath, so R-series (2007-2013) uses MEVD17.2 with CAS3, F-series (2014-2020) uses MEVD17.4 with FEM/BDC, and G-series (2021+) uses current BMW electronics. Our mobile service brings Autel IM608 and Xhorse VVDI Prog to your driveway for ECU replacement pairing, reflash, add-key with a working original, or all-keys-lost bench coding on FEM/BDC. Compatibility depends on year, model and system, so share your VIN, chassis and symptoms before dispatch. Ownership verification (title or registration) is required. Message us with your MINI details and location to confirm the right path.
