I don't want to carry around these two giant fobs swaged together, is there a trick to find out the door code?

Try asking the company you rented the car from instead of tOT.

look in the glovebox, rentals usually have the owners manual. look for a card with a barcode and some numbers on it. That is your code. You need the factory code to reprogram.

It had 21 miles on it, so I'm pretty sure it's still be in there. Thanks.

You can separate the keys as long as you return both of them.

I had a Chrysler rental a couple of weeks ago and it had the key you leave in your pocket and press the button outside to lock the doors and the button by the wheel to start. I liked that.

(I didn't like prepaying for a FULL size car and getting a Chrysler 200 though )

car rental keychains are usually a nice sized cable and you can't seperate the keys.

(I've never been given two fobs though )

Wire cutters can do the job if you have them

Cut the cable holding the two fobs together. I do it all the time.

My experience has always been they free upgrade you into the class above what you reserved if it isn't available.

I rented a new fusion last week. It was nice but that shite on the door seemed unnecessary.

Nothing in there but a damn insurance type card.


Any other ideas?

Judging from the keys I'm guessing it's a 2017 Fusion, right?

Yes.

Cut the cable. They won't charge you for it as long as you return both fobs and the tag.

I can pull the two laser etched keys out, but there's no key hole in the doors. I can't cut the cable.

I would call the location you picked it up from and see what they say.
