Car key replacement and programming in Arundel
The correct car key depends on the vehicle year, security system, key style and whether a working key remains. We identify the required key, confirm compatibility and explain the suitable option before booking.
Spare Car Keys
Organising a spare while one working key remains is usually the safest way to avoid the higher cost and inconvenience of an all-keys-lost situation.
Spare car keysRemote Car Keys
Replacement remote-head keys and flip keys can often be supplied, cut and programmed at the vehicle for supported cars, utes and vans.
Transponder Keys
The transponder chip must be matched to the vehicle immobiliser. A key that turns the ignition will not start the vehicle unless the chip is correctly programmed.
Transponder programmingSmart Proximity Keys
Many push-button start vehicles use a proximity key rather than a conventional remote key. Compatibility must be confirmed using the exact vehicle details.
Smart car keysDamaged or Worn Keys
Intermittent remotes, cracked cases, worn blades and damaged key heads may require anything from a replacement shell to a complete new programmed key.
Simple booking process

Lost key security
Lost car keys in Arundel: access and security
When a key has been lost rather than simply damaged, programming may include removing missing keys from the vehicle’s authorised key memory where the system supports it.
The mechanical door lock and emergency blade are separate from electronic programming. The exact security procedure depends on the vehicle.
Tell us whether the key is lost, stolen or damaged.
That detail can change the recommended procedure. A damaged key that is still in your possession is different from an unknown key that may still be able to unlock or start the vehicle.
