Will a replacement remote include every original function?
A compatible remote should be matched by part information, frequency, button layout, and vehicle features. Each available function should be tested after programming.
What if my key turns but the engine will not start?
The problem may involve a transponder, immobilizer authorization, damaged chip, ignition reader, battery voltage, or another vehicle system. Mechanical and electronic functions should be tested separately.

A visible or reachable fragment can often be extracted with controlled tools. The lock should then be inspected so the same wear or obstruction does not break the replacement key.
