A key can turn the ignition mechanically while the car does not recognize its transponder. Programming addresses electronic authorization; it does not automatically resolve a worn ignition or another no-start fault. Describe what happens when you try to start the vehicle.
A no-start condition needs diagnosis before programming is assumed to be the solution.

Imperial Beach includes the beachfront and the Tijuana River estuary area. Use the vehicle’s street address or parking entrance as the meeting point, rather than a location along a walking path.
If a beach visit left a fob wet or damaged, bring it to the appointment along with any spare. For a rental vehicle, contact the rental company about authorization before arranging key work.
Location reference: San Diego Tourism Authority: Imperial Beach.
Call to confirm compatibility, the full quote, and the current arrival estimate. This is mobile service from Auto Key SD; see the Imperial Beach service-area guide.
Possibly, but other faults can produce a similar symptom. Explain whether the engine cranks, whether a security warning appears, and whether a spare key works.
Contact the rental company first to establish authorization and its preferred process. When calling us, explain that it is a rental and provide the vehicle details and the parking location.
Tell us what happened, which vehicle you drive, and where it is parked.
