Recently I lost one of my key fobs, not the ignition key itself, just the fob. As my mustang has been sitting peacefully in her garage, I could hear the security system beep, then someone triggered the alarm. Evidently someone in my neighborhood has the fob and was trying to figure out which car it belonged to. If I were in a nice neighborhood with nice neighbors that would be great, but the fob has still not found its way back to my place. Obviously I do not want the car accessed and things damaged or stolen. They would not have access to her unless they kick in the garage door, so I assume she is safe, unless I leave her outside. So in terms of my questions for the experts out there...
Can they somehow synch a key to the fob and turn on the ignition, or is the fob strictly for doors and trunk?
How would you handle this? I have one ignition key and one fob, and then one other ignition key in my possession, with the other fob now in someone else's control.
Do I buy another fob and get the whole thing reprogrammed? Would I be safe at that point? I do not live in a horribly crime ridden neighborhood, but it's not the nicest either. I figure if they were innocently finding the car to return it, they would have come up to the house or left it outside the garage which they have not.
If it has any bearing on your advice, I drive an '07 GT Vert. Thanks in advance for any and all help!
