That key fob is a good concept ✊🏾 However, it’s too big not to include an auto-start feature, a locator feature connected to your phone, a feature to lock out anyone from using it without you knowing or even a feature to stop anyone from changing the settings. What do you think, Alex? Have you been able to find a key fob like that in your search.
Hi Michael! it's size is almost identical to the BMW LCD key you get with the 7 series, it actually looks like a straight copy of it lol but I also think the size is mostly limited by the need for the new key fob to fit your old key circuit board inside and the size of the touchscreen itself. But man I do really like the ideas you propose, I can see them adding a pin code or some other locking way via the next firmware update, that definitely could be done. Even the autostart (it's no fun to install, it was so frustrating when I installed one I swore I would never done one again lol) could be done like an add on for those that want the additional option. I think if enough people request this from FitcamX it could happen. Thanks for watching and commenting bud!
I was reading the comments before the ads finished and saw all the hype about the moustache. I definitely wasn't disappointed once the video started haha.
Maybe one day someone will invent a car key that does just the basic functions of a car key and will also fit in my pocket like a car key did 40 years ago. THAT would really make my life much easier!
Hi Stille! LOL! Yes LCD touchscreen remotes are definitely not for everyone. When BMW introduced this one with their 7 Series, many people really loved it while others choose to get the standard key fob. So it's been interesting to see how now exotic car manufacturers are including them as an option now but also offer the normal key option for those than want to keep things simple. Thanks for watching and commenting bud!
@@Dragonfart69 Thank you for bringing clarity to @PenningtonThe4th 's comment. I was already thinking of an upgrade to his idea, like also include some sort of RFID embedded in the fob to help reduce theft from a physical attack.
I was just mesmerized with how perfect that mustache is, I think I'll have to grow one so that I can have mustache envy. Great narration on your vid too. You have a good presence in front of the camera.
Really cool fob but it seems a bit bulky for my taste ; my '18 Honda has remote start, smart entry with the fob in my pocket, and auto-locking too so I don't really see a benefit for my case. Really cool video nonetheless!
Thanks Hellfire SPMA! yeah I think the biggest benefit is for the folks with keys that don't have those features already. What I would really like to see, is on the next version if they can add Bluetooth so I can locate my key in the house, I'm always misplacing them, that would be cool to have..
Yea but you have to press unlock on your fob for the doors but this wouldn't help there either would it. I guess this is a product for those that need it.
@@rueben44 Hi RayJ-HT! if you use the included Bluetooth adapter, you can enable the comfort feature which is when the key fob locks and unlocks the doors automatically for you (without having to press the unlock or lock button on the fob). But yes this remote is not for everyone, it is for those looking for an LCD touchscreen or the comfort door opener system to their keyless system or normal keyfob. Well and for folks like me who want to have a Supercar type keyfob while I drive my Corolla LOL
It would be nice if it could roll down your windows on cars that don't have that feature already on it when unlocked or roll up the windows when locked. But it is an interesting fob, but not just sold on it just yet but I am debating on getting it or not lol. Será algo que necesito or no más porque lo quiero por que se ve tuanis jajajaja.
@@dominicfrost8627 LOL yes I one of my friends use to tell me that about my purchases LOL "Is it ah, oh would be nice to have or is it something you actually need" I still haven't learned my lesson to this day! Me gustan las cosas chidas! Saludos desde California!
Hi J.P.! Yep, I think LCD touchscreen remotes are definitely not for everyone. When BMW introduced this style of Key Fobs with their 7 Series, many people loved it while others choose to get a standard key fob. I think this is only for those looking for an LCD touchscreen or looking to add the comfort door lock & unlock system since some cars do not come with the auto door opener/locker feature. Well and for folks like me who like gadgets or want to have a Supercar type key fob while I drive my Corolla LOL Cheers!
Thank TK's Garage! I appreciate that bud! and congrats on your new LCD keyfob, get ready to get people asking about it every time you use it (still happens to me lol)
Hi Atiba! Yeah you can add features by adding those separately for example remote start can be added to the car using a kit like this one amzn.to/2Z12Xsr The contents of the remote start key would then be transferred to the LCD key fob that way you won't have to carry two key fobs. Hope this helps and thanks for watching bud!
3:50 good to put a different logo so someone won't search for your car or put the cheapest logo if you put Ferreri they might want more money for a reward if found
Hi 310SoCal, you what, that's actually not a bad a idea! I can definitely see someone seeing the Ferrari logo thinking they found an original Ferrari key since some of the newer supercars come with LCD keys, therefore expecting a larger reward...
Hi Sadd! There is no copying the frequency or programming required since the contents of your original key are transferred to the inside of the LCD keyfob so the car thinks it's still the original remote controlling it. Hope this makes sense and thanks for watching bud!
Hi Gregg! Excellent! those videos are in progress now, I will start from the very basics and then move to advanced soldering culminating on the key fob for those that want to attempt this themselves, stay tuned and thanks for watching bud!
Hi Matthew! I haven't done body modifications videos yet (aside from the mud flaps videos) trying to focus on gadgets but I will certainly look into them if there is enough interest and it could be done. I do have several RGB lighting videos here is one th-cam.com/video/vWKoJN38-Ro/w-d-xo.html and I have underglows kits coming to, stay tuned, Cheers Bud!
Hi Brad! It would be the reverse of the install, so instead of soldering wires, the wires would be de-soldered (easier than soldering) well and that assumes that you save all the original pieces of your OEM key. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Hi Mark ! An App would be neat! the main issue would be that the transmitter on key fobs operates in a different frequency that a smartphone can't produce. Some cars like Tesla and the new Mustang Mach-E got smart, they use Bluetooth in combination with NFC instead of the normal frequency used by key fobs to operate the car. On those cars you can use your phone as the key to operate the car, which I think is pretty awesome! Hope this helps, Cheers!
Thats seems pretty cool. Could you do a video with the soldering and go in deeper into the functions and possibilities of this remote? I have a 2011 F450 would it work on my truck? Thanks
Hi Abel! check out the this link amzn.to/3giyFrj they have a very nice video showing the soldering process. It basically involves soldering wires to the existing buttons on your remote (it's universal so it should work with your Ford key fob). But I think I will work on a soldering video by itself from scratch showing how it's does if it helps! stay tuned and thanks for watching bud!
@@AlexAutoFun Hey just a quick question, can I (with the right DIY kit) use this to autostart a fire truck when we got in? Note fire trucks do not have keys they (usually) have push buttons with a backup power switch.
@@christopherhowson7383 Hi Christopher! if they sell a kit to autostart fire trucks remotely then yes this smart key fob could potentially take that remote (assuming it fits inside the case) and active the remote start switch for you. That being said, based on what I saw in the mfg industry of fire related devices, I probably would not recommend it for life critical applications where on demand performance is required, typical devices used in this application have several redundancies and require long development times to ensure they always function (cost goes up as well). Now if it's a Fire Truck used for parades and other non emergency services, yeah but go for it, that would probably make a really cool video too, seeing a Fire Truck start remotely! Hope that makes sense and thanks for watching!
Hi Thomans! If you take a look at the SAE-J1962-2016 (the standard that controls the design parameters for the DLC) you can see that the OBD2 connector accommodates 16 contacts, you could potentially populate it with less contacts but the foot print of the connector remains the same (is also controlled by the J1962 standard). The adapter included with on the FitcamX LCD remote (with the comfort function is only meant for OBD2 ports. Here is another video where I cover the standard in more detail th-cam.com/video/aV5jQovoaCI/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
Thought youd feature the hard key of the fob. Would it not be required to cut by a locksmith to fit ignition. I have a x5 and wanted to see the metal blade to compare.
Hi G S! This key fob does not come with a hard key (the inside contains the battery and the electronics of your old key fob). For those cases you can enable the comfort feature so the fob opens and locks the doors for you, your key would only be used for the car's ignition. However you could eliminate the key completely by adding a push start using a kit like this one amzn.to/2Z12Xsr The contents of the remote start key would then be transferred to the LCD key fob that way you won't have to carry two key fobs. Hope this helps and thanks for watching bud!
LoL!! It has the same dimensions as the BMW LCD key for that you get with the newer 740i and 750i but I imagine over time they will continue to reduce in size just like any technology..
Hi LilGats! it should be able to, the smart LCD remote just presses the button for you (electronically) regardless of the button function (the smart remote doesn't know what the button activates or does, it just knows that it has to activate whatever button you have pressed on the touchscreen on the physical button of your old key fob) However also check out the X-900 where they added more support for automating the remote start built in on your car th-cam.com/video/m94fFgXrJEY/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun thank you for the fast response! but would i just have to solder the remote start button to the panic button instead and just not have a panic button?
@@LilGats You're welcome LilGats! ah yes this Key Fob supports a maximum of 4 buttons which means you would have to decide which 4 buttons are most important to you and which one you are willing to give up. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Thanks Fujibo Heavy! yeah it a pretty cool gadget, I carry mine in a soft fabric pouch because I like the finish on it so much I don't want to scratch it LOL But regarding GPS, no I does not have it, I can definitely see them adding this on the future or selling a upgraded version of it since it would add cost to the FOB but man that is a good idea!
Hi Michael! I can definitely see them adding this on the future or selling a upgraded version of it since it would add cost to the FOB, kind of like an iPhone be neat to track it, they could probably start with Bluetooth just to be able to locate in your own house (I'm always misplacing my key! LOL)..
Hi ecb116! You would still need to carry your physical key blade, this remote only replaces the remote itself not the key blade itself. However remote start can be added to the car using a kit like this one amzn.to/2Z12Xsr The contents of the remote start key would then be transferred to the LCD key fob that way you won't have to carry two key fobs. Hope this helps and thanks for watching bud!
Do we need any other tools/procedures after transferring the PCB from old key to LCD key and what is the minimum requirements of the car before upgrading?
Hi Smith! this is a universal kit for car remote that use buttons so if your remote button has buttons then this should work and yes correct there are no additional tools required after transferring the PCB from the old key fob to the new LCD keyfob. Hope this helps, Cheers!
I think the screen could be more useful let's say shows your mileage or say how much you have until empty. Pretty much some of the same dashboard warning like check engine light or oil change that kind of stuff.
Hi Brad! yeah that would be neat and I think it can't be too hard to implement, it would just need an upgraded OBD adapter so it can pull data from the car and upgraded hardware inside the remote to be able to display. Maybe on the next version? I guess will see! Thanks for watching and commenting bud!
Hi Joshua! yeah it's pretty neat, it works with regular turn key cars also. And if you wanted to add remote start later, it could be added done using a kit like this one amzn.to/2Z12Xsr The contents of the remote start key would then be transferred to the LCD key fob that way you won't have to carry two key fobs. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Great video! Just wish the background music in this vid didn't have all the little clicking sounds. It confused me because when you were pressing the buttons on the remote I couldn't tell if the music clicking noises was part of the sound of the remote as you pressed the buttons.
Hi TheBadBone23! Unfortunately nope. Remember the doors locks are controlled by the smart remote not the Bluetooth adapter (the adapter is just to let the keyfob know how far away you are from the car, it does not control the car directly). However I do think an App would be neat! but the main issue would be that the transmitter on key fobs operates in a different frequency that a smartphone can't produce. Some cars like Tesla and the new Mustang Mach-E got smart, they use Bluetooth in combination with RFID instead of the normal frequency used by key fobs to operate the car. On those cars you can use your phone as the key to operate the car, which I think is pretty awesome! Hope that makes sense and thanks for watching!
Hi Daniel! yeah I wouldn't be surprised if we eventually see it get an USB C port but at same time I feel like some manufacturer are taking their time transitioning, just bought a brand new Sony ZV-1 and is also still rocking a Micro USB port ugh LOL
Hi KAE Official! LOL yes I noticed that too, both the size and design look almost identical, I may borrow a BMW key just so I can show them side by side, stay tuned and thanks for watching bud!
Hi ultraman! It's size is near identical to the BMW LCD key you get with the 7 series and i8, it actually looks like a straight copy of it lol. But if you don't need it to look like a BMW key here is the Mini version amzn.to/3qrjeBN And I imagine that it will continue to get even more smaller like all technologies do overtime. Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun I was intrigued by this device when I first saw it about 2 years ago. Your review videos are awesome and very informative. Thank you for the videos.
Hi J! The LCD Key Fob remote does not add any additional security over what your original key fob came with (such as disabling the OEM remote). Remember as explained in the video, it re-uses your old key fob transmitter, so it's literally just your old remote in a new shinny case lol Cheers!

Hi August! Yep! the Smart Key supports up to 4 key buttons, so if your current key fob has a button that opens the hatch, the smart key can press that button for you. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Hi Alex, you didn’t share your opinion regarding the obd part being always connected to the car to benefit from keyless entry option. Any drawbacks to this based on your experience? Thanks!

Thanks Alex for your prompt response as always. Would be great if you share how long have you been using the key, and if you have the obd always connected. I’m in the process of purchasing one specifically for the keyless entry option, but to be honest, I went for the CF920 as I liked it’s design and shape more. Thanks again for coming back.
Hi Ahmed! Since 2021, I also have the newer X-900 shown here th-cam.com/video/m94fFgXrJEY/w-d-xo.html regarding the OBD2 adapter, I only use it on my old car that does not have auto lock and unlock, on newer cars where this is an option from factory there is no need to use it. Cheers!@@AhmedKalei
You're welcome Ahmed! The OBD2 adapter is a low power consumption device. But even low power draw devices can eventually drain a car battery. Now how long will it take for it to happen will depend on the car's battery, size, age, health condition and state of charge. In addition to that you also want to take in consideration any parasitic draw from other items on the vehicle that use power when the car is off. This is specially common on newer vehicles. For example I have an older Jeep that can sits for months a time with little to no battery draw, then I have a 2017 car that will almost completely drain my battery in a few weeks if the car is not used (mind you that car does not have any aftermarket devices connected to it). And here is the battery tester I use th-cam.com/video/kCNrfa8RUKU/w-d-xo.html if you want to test your battery for capacity and health, it can also perform a parasitic draw test if needed. Cheers!@@AhmedKalei

Hi Mishal! Yeah I really like mine, but yep unfortunately there is no space inside the LCD key fob for the mechanical key itself. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Hi Kevin! nice! most coin cell batteries at rated at around 10 yrs so 19yrs use out of it is really good. While I can image that we will see improvements on battery life in future ones, I don't think it will ever come close to lithium coin cell (due to the small power draw used when there is no screen or proximity sensing needed) Cheers!
Hi Barber Chris! As explained in the video, the adapter is only used if you want to enable the optional comfort feature (automatic locking and unlocking doors) Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@barberchris9987 Hi Barber Chris! Yeah using a smart phone would be neat! The main issue would be that the transmitter on key fobs operates in a different frequency that a smartphone can't produce.

Do I understand correctly.... Auto lock and unlock works even if my car is just keyless start/stop and NOT also keyless entry...correct? Does auto lock/unlock proximity work only with installed OBD connector?
Hi! Correct, the auto lock and unlock works with all cars that have an existing remote than can lock or unlock your car (Keyless and Normal Key) And yes also on the second, the OBD2 proximity sensor is needed if you want to use the comfort function. Hope this helps, Cheers!

I see that there’s 4 wires to connect, what if you have 5 buttons (Lock, unlock, remote start, trunk, and panic). Also, my button has membranes, not switches. So is it still possible to solder?
Hi L! Yes if your KeyFob has more buttons that what the LCD keyfob has, then you will have to choose which are the most important to your for the installer to connect. Regarding switches, remember the LCD fob does not need to use switches or membranes, the wires for the connections are soldered to the PCB (usually to a land or trace) Cheers!
Hi gtrscort1, it's pretty bright, it definitely visible in the daylight, not as bright as a cell phone in full blast but I think is more than enough (the brightness on the FOB is not adjustable but I imagine that FitcamX can easily add that feature with a firmware update).

Really cool fob but it seems a bit bulky for my taste ; my '18 Honda has remote start, smart entry with the fob in my pocket, and auto-locking too so I don't really see a benefit for my case. Really cool video nonetheless!
Thanks Hellfire SPMA! yeah I think the biggest benefit is for the folks with keys that don't have those features already. What I would really like to see, is on the next version if they can add Bluetooth so I can locate my key in the house, I'm always misplacing them, that would be cool to have..
Yea but you have to press unlock on your fob for the doors but this wouldn't help there either would it. I guess this is a product for those that need it.
@@rueben44 Hi RayJ-HT! if you use the included Bluetooth adapter, you can enable the comfort feature which is when the key fob locks and unlocks the doors automatically for you (without having to press the unlock or lock button on the fob). But yes this remote is not for everyone, it is for those looking for an LCD touchscreen or the comfort door opener system to their keyless system or normal keyfob. Well and for folks like me who want to have a Supercar type keyfob while I drive my Corolla LOL
It would be nice if it could roll down your windows on cars that don't have that feature already on it when unlocked or roll up the windows when locked. But it is an interesting fob, but not just sold on it just yet but I am debating on getting it or not lol. Será algo que necesito or no más porque lo quiero por que se ve tuanis jajajaja.
@@dominicfrost8627 LOL yes I one of my friends use to tell me that about my purchases LOL "Is it ah, oh would be nice to have or is it something you actually need" I still haven't learned my lesson to this day! Me gustan las cosas chidas! Saludos desde California!
The older style that locks and unlocks it from far away suits me lol still cool they have something like this out
The older I get the more I learn to appreciate cars that have a simple key with nothing else on it except the logo and one or two buttons.
Hi J.P.! Yep, I think LCD touchscreen remotes are definitely not for everyone. When BMW introduced this style of Key Fobs with their 7 Series, many people loved it while others choose to get a standard key fob. I think this is only for those looking for an LCD touchscreen or looking to add the comfort door lock & unlock system since some cars do not come with the auto door opener/locker feature. Well and for folks like me who like gadgets or want to have a Supercar type key fob while I drive my Corolla LOL Cheers!

Could other features be added?
Like carrying the windows up , folding the mirrors in or even starting the vehicle from the key fob.
Hi Atiba! Yeah you can add features by adding those separately for example remote start can be added to the car using a kit like this one amzn.to/2Z12Xsr The contents of the remote start key would then be transferred to the LCD key fob that way you won't have to carry two key fobs. Hope this helps and thanks for watching bud!
Can you use this key for multiple car brands at the same time. We have four keyless ignition cars (volvo, volkswagen, mazda and porsche)

3:50 good to put a different logo so someone won't search for your car or put the cheapest logo if you put Ferreri they might want more money for a reward if found
Hi 310SoCal, you what, that's actually not a bad a idea! I can definitely see someone seeing the Ferrari logo thinking they found an original Ferrari key since some of the newer supercars come with LCD keys, therefore expecting a larger reward...
I award you the best mustache presenter 2022! Your mustache are very nice and matched you perfectly!
Thank you Spanish! I really appreciate that! 😀
What about the safety of copying the frequency of the key
Hi Sadd! There is no copying the frequency or programming required since the contents of your original key are transferred to the inside of the LCD keyfob so the car thinks it's still the original remote controlling it. Hope this makes sense and thanks for watching bud!

It's a cool key but I have a question what if you want to go back to your original key and you already move the internal to that new cool key.
Hi Brad! It would be the reverse of the install, so instead of soldering wires, the wires would be de-soldered (easier than soldering) well and that assumes that you save all the original pieces of your OEM key. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
An app on my smartphone could do all this and more, will be crossing the mind of every buyer of this device after they've used it for a day or so.
Hi Mark ! An App would be neat! the main issue would be that the transmitter on key fobs operates in a different frequency that a smartphone can't produce. Some cars like Tesla and the new Mustang Mach-E got smart, they use Bluetooth in combination with NFC instead of the normal frequency used by key fobs to operate the car. On those cars you can use your phone as the key to operate the car, which I think is pretty awesome! Hope this helps, Cheers!

Hi Abel! check out the this link amzn.to/3giyFrj they have a very nice video showing the soldering process.

@@AlexAutoFun Hey just a quick question, can I (with the right DIY kit) use this to autostart a fire truck when we got in? Note fire trucks do not have keys they (usually) have push buttons with a backup power switch.
@@christopherhowson7383 Hi Christopher! if they sell a kit to autostart fire trucks remotely then yes this smart key fob could potentially take that remote (assuming it fits inside the case) and active the remote start switch for you. That being said, based on what I saw in the mfg industry of fire related devices, I probably would not recommend it for life critical applications where on demand performance is required, typical devices used in this application have several redundancies and require long development times to ensure they always function (cost goes up as well). Now if it's a Fire Truck used for parades and other non emergency services, yeah but go for it, that would probably make a really cool video too, seeing a Fire Truck start remotely! Hope that makes sense and thanks for watching!
That stache is epic dude!
Thank you Jerry! I really appreciate that bud!
That OBD connector at 7:06 has 16 pins. OBD2 has 15 pins. An adapter is therefore required (an extra cost, and will take up more room).
Hi Thomans! If you take a look at the SAE-J1962-2016 (the standard that controls the design parameters for the DLC) you can see that the OBD2 connector accommodates 16 contacts, you could potentially populate it with less contacts but the foot print of the connector remains the same (is also controlled by the J1962 standard). The adapter included with on the FitcamX LCD remote (with the comfort function is only meant for OBD2 ports. Here is another video where I cover the standard in more detail th-cam.com/video/aV5jQovoaCI/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
Thought youd feature the hard key of the fob. Would it not be required to cut by a locksmith to fit ignition. I have a x5 and wanted to see the metal blade to compare.
Hi G S! This key fob does not come with a hard key (the inside contains the battery and the electronics of your old key fob). For those cases you can enable the comfort feature so the fob opens and locks the doors for you, your key would only be used for the car's ignition. However you could eliminate the key completely by adding a push start using a kit like this one amzn.to/2Z12Xsr The contents of the remote start key would then be transferred to the LCD key fob that way you won't have to carry two key fobs.

Wouldn't be possible to use the Bluetooth adapter with a phone app to do the exact same thing?
Hi TheBadBone23! Unfortunately nope. Remember the doors locks are controlled by the smart remote not the Bluetooth adapter (the adapter is just to let the keyfob know how far away you are from the car, it does not control the car directly). However I do think an App would be neat! but the main issue would be that the transmitter on key fobs operates in a different frequency that a smartphone can't produce.

Hi Ahmed! Since 2021, I also have the newer X-900 shown here th-cam.com/video/m94fFgXrJEY/w-d-xo.html regarding the OBD2 adapter, I only use it on my old car that does not have auto lock and unlock, on newer cars where this is an option from factory there is no need to use it. Cheers!@@AhmedKalei
Thanks Alex.
So you have the OBD always connected to your old car, correct?
Did this affect the car battery or anything else negatively?
You're welcome Ahmed! The OBD2 adapter is a low power consumption device. But even low power draw devices can eventually drain a car battery. Now how long will it take for it to happen will depend on the car's battery, size, age, health condition and state of charge. In addition to that you also want to take in consideration any parasitic draw from other items on the vehicle that use power when the car is off. This is specially common on newer vehicles. For example I have an older Jeep that can sits for months a time with little to no battery draw, then I have a 2017 car that will almost completely drain my battery in a few weeks if the car is not used (mind you that car does not have any aftermarket devices connected to it). And here is the battery tester I use th-cam.com/video/kCNrfa8RUKU/w-d-xo.html if you want to test your battery for capacity and health, it can also perform a parasitic draw test if needed. Cheers!@@AhmedKalei
Can I continue using the OBD that comes with the key as a regular OBD to read info from the car?
Hi Kanudos! Nope, the OBD2 adapter is only used for the comfort function (locking and unlocking the doors). Here is a OBD2 dongle scanner if you need one th-cam.com/video/rGWSxEXFbOg/w-d-xo.html Cheers!

The battery in my key fob has lasted 19 years, not 2 days, so I’ll be sticking with that thanks.
Hi Kevin! nice! most coin cell batteries at rated at around 10 yrs so 19yrs use out of it is really good. While I can image that we will see improvements on battery life in future ones, I don't think it will ever come close to lithium coin cell (due to the small power draw used when there is no screen or proximity sensing needed) Cheers!
So does the obd2 device have to stay plugged into the car in order for the fob to work?
Hi Aaron! Nope the OBD adapter is only needed if you want to activate the comfort function (Automatic locking and unlocking) Cheers!

What if you walk passed your car with automatic unlock and lock feature?? Does it unlock when close to it and lock again if already passed it?
Hi Mitch! Correct, if the comfort function is enabled (locking and unlocking automatically) the car will unlock as you approach it as shown on the video and if leaving the car, it will lock as shown on the video.

Hi Tesla Bot! There is no programming required, the smart LCD remote just presses the button for you (electronically) regardless of the button function (the smart remote doesn't know what the button activates, it just knows that it has to activate whatever button you have pressed on the touchscreen or on it's physical buttons) So if your current remote supports keyless start by pressing a button then that functionality will transfer over to the LCD key fob.

@@See_through866 Yeah that is kind of how it works, it looks very high tech but really it is only using your old key fob with the LCD touch screen interface...
@@AlexAutoFun cool I might just buy one !
@@See_through866 Also take a look at the X-900 it has a couple more functions specially for controlling the keyless start up function here it is th-cam.com/video/m94fFgXrJEY/w-d-xo.html Cheers from California bud!
Can this worked on a 2008 Honda Accord left hand drive!! Let me know plz plz thanks
Hi Anthony! It should, this is an universal kit for all cars and models that use a remote with buttons. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Will this key work on an 2006 Toyota Highlander limited hybrid? I'm really tired of the basic black remote
Hi RogueTeam-Underrated Warface RU! This is an universal kit for all cars and models that use a remote with buttons, if your remote has normal buttons then it should works. Hope this helps, Cheers!
I have one it seems one drop it will break or crack get a case for it they have it
Hi! Can you tell me what Case Cover Compatible with my Fitcamx Key Fob Keyless Entry Upgrade Smart Remote
Hi Kev! this key fob almost identical to the BMW LCD key you get with the 7 series so It may be possible to use the case for the BMW version of it like this one amzn.to/3ESdhTi If you do get the case please let us know how it fits! Hope that makes sense and thanks for watching bud!
Sir,
Is there a device to check car key for signal to see if it is faulty or the receiver(s) are faulty for unlock and trunk open? I don’t wanna be screwed by dealer. I have low income.
Hi SMART ASSIST! Yes there are two ways this can be tested, one would be using this amzn.to/3nAHJxZ to test the remote control to see if it works. The second way is to check the actual car with a scanner like this one th-cam.com/video/TiLQYqwKq6A/w-d-xo.html or this one th-cam.com/video/Yy21TsscA_c/w-d-xo.html to see if the issue is on the car's side. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Can that fourth screen button support remote start? I have a 2018 Nissan Altima and to use the remote start I need to quick press the lock button and then long press the start button to make it turn over.
Hi Rey! The buttons do not know what function they are controlling, all the LCD fob screen does is push the button for you, so any of the buttons should be able to support the remote start function. Hope that makes sense and thanks for watching bud!
Can this key remote start? I have an older car 2013 and would be fun to upgrade. Also this is only for push to start keys?
Soldering completely turned me off. Too much
Hi A! The Key fob does not add remote start unless your car already has it. However remote start can be added to the car using a kit like this one amzn.to/2Z12Xsr or similar. The contents of the remote start key would then be transferred to the LCD key fob that way you won't have to carry two key fobs. And here is the advanced the version of this key fob where they added more options for automating remote start th-cam.com/video/m94fFgXrJEY/w-d-xo.html Cheers!
@AlexAutoFun thanks for this absolutely awesome reply! This will upgrade my brother's Hyundai 2013 Tucson! He'll be shocked
@@anthonypierre2094 You're welcome!
Is there any alternative for cars that dont have push to start? Thank you!
Hi alexdev! It works with normal turn key car as well. And if you want to add push start in the future, it can be added to the car using a kit like this one amzn.to/2Z12Xsr The contents of the remote start key would then be transferred to the LCD key fob that way you won't have to carry two key fobs. And here is the advanced the version of this key fob where they added more options for automating remote start th-cam.com/video/m94fFgXrJEY/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Many thanks! So yeah, I'd have to carry around two keys in essence... that's a shame. I could fit the push to start but its a bit more involved than I'd want. Please do let me know if there's ever a solution for turn key systems!
@@alexdev5809 Hi Alex! no you don't need to carry around two key fobs, the LCD key fob works with turn key cars. What I meant to say is that you can always add push start later (those systems come with their own remote which at that point can be combined into a single remote) but you don't have to worry about this if you are not looking to add push start. The LCD key fob will replace your existing car key remote, so you only will carry one remote. Hope this makes sense. Cheers!
I just wanted to know if that smart key can use on other cars??
Hi Tou! Correct, this is an universal kit for all cars and models that use a remote with buttons, if your remote has normal buttons then it should work. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Can you show how to program it for your car I have a 2017 Ford keyless entry and remote start will that work on that
Hi Gerv401! there is no programming required, since the contents of the OEM are just transferred to the inside of the LCD key fob. Regarding remote start, if your current remote supports it then it should still work. The smart LCD remote just presses the button for you (electronically) regardless of the button function (the smart remote doesn't know what the button activates, it just knows that it has to activate whatever button you have pressed on the touchscreen or on it's physical buttons). Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for the info appreciate it
@@Gerv401 You're welcome!
Hello. I have a BMW e90, the ignition is started by button, but the car don't have key less go. I still need to insert the key in the specific hole to start the engine. I can't use this smart key, or don't? Thank you!
Hi Roman! Correct, unfortunately if your BMW needs you to insert your original key fob into the dash for the car to work, then the LCD Key Fob won't likely work for you since it probably won't fit in the dash correctly like the old one did. Hope this helps, Cheers!
