A replacement fob just arrived in its box, shiny and untouched. It looks identical to the one that has ridden on the keyring for years, but the car ignores it entirely: no lock click, no start authorization, nothing.
Where the fobs currently stand decides how the visit unfolds. If one working fob remains, the job is usually adding a second or third to the vehicle's accepted list, though some procedures need every fob you still have present and re-registered rather than leaving the working one untouched. If every fob has gone missing, the visit follows that vehicle's own all-keys-lost route: on many systems the memory is cleared of old fobs and a fresh set registered in their place, often through extra security steps, while some vehicles instead add a new credential through an authenticated app or manufacturer service access.

Scene 1
A vehicle with at least one working fob usually calls for adding to what already exists, though some procedures need every retained fob present and re-registered rather than leaving them untouched. A vehicle with no working fob at all follows its own route: many need the key memory reset before anything is added back, while some instead accept an authenticated app or manufacturer service credential without a full reset. Sorting out which situation applies before ordering parts saves a wasted trip and sets the right expectation for how the visit will unfold.
Scene 2
Adding a new fob solves half the problem when the old one is genuinely missing rather than simply misplaced at home; the other half is telling the vehicle to stop recognizing the fob that is out there somewhere. The procedure follows that model's own lost-key route: some delete just that one fob's authorization and leave the others untouched, while others first erase every known credential and then relearn the ones you keep, so a household with three fobs and one lost one still ends the visit with two working fobs and a lost one that no longer operates the vehicle electronically.
Scene 3
For a vehicle that turned out to need manufacturer-level access, the household leaves the visit with a clear picture rather than an unresolved gap: what was tried, what the vehicle actually requires, and which fobs are ready to go the moment that next step happens. Nothing sourced during the visit needs to be redone, and the eventual appointment, wherever it happens, starts from a documented position instead of repeating the same identification work from scratch.

This depends on the manufacturer, since each vehicle's memory has a set limit built in, commonly enough for several drivers plus a spare. The visit checks how many the specific vehicle allows and how many are already registered, so a household adding another driver knows whether there is room before a new fob is ordered.
The vehicle's identification number, proof that you own or are authorized to use it, and an honest count of how many fobs exist for the car, working or not. Mention whether any fob is truly lost rather than misplaced at home, and whether the vehicle currently starts with the fob you do have. That picture lets the right procedure and parts be settled before work begins rather than partway through it.
On many vehicles the key memory has to be reset before any new fob can be added, since nothing already accepted remains to authorize one; some vehicles instead accept an authenticated app or manufacturer service credential without a full reset. Where a reset is needed, it may take a security code specific to your vehicle or an approved access pathway built for exactly this situation. Once the reset completes, a full new set of fobs is registered and tested before the visit ends.
