The steps for programming a key fob yourself can differ: Owner’s manuals from certain automakers include instructions. In many circumstances, information can be available online. The problem is that in order to complete the process quickly or at all, you might require two functional key fobs.
Therefore, it is wise to acquire and set up an extra remote before you require it. Additionally, it’s a wise move because most used-vehicle buyers, particularly auto dealers, would pay extra for a car that has at least two functional sets of keys or key fobs. Therefore, having a spare key will not only be useful when you need it, but it will also benefit you in the long run.

How can I determine the frequency of my key fob?
Numerous alternative key fob systems are available.
We’ll start by taking a look at my 2006 Prius’ key fob. Key fobs make use of a system known as a Remote Keyless System (RKS). These run at 315 MHz, plus or minus 2.5 MHz, in the US. It was discovered that my Prius key was at 312.590 MHz. The FCC database has a list of all the keyfobs. One method for determining when new auto models will be released is to keep an eye out for new entries. These will show up before the announcement is made formally.
You can use your SDR to determine the frequency that your key fob communicates on and GQRX or SDR# to track the spectrum.
You should see a slight jump in the spectrum when you press a button on the key fob.
To find the signal, you might need to move the frequency band up or down by a few MHz; mine was almost 2.5 MHz low.
Just a word of warning.
Don’t press the button too quickly!
The rolling pseudo-randomly produced code is used by the RKS system.
In order for the car to identify the next code, the key fob and the vehicle remain in sync.
The car won’t recognize the key fob if it advances too far in the sequence (hundreds of button presses).
That greatly reduces the utility of the key (and the vehicle)!
