Lost car key serviceOrganising 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 keysReplacement remote-head keys and flip keys can often be supplied, cut and programmed at the vehicle for supported cars, utes and vans.
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 programmingMany 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 keysIntermittent remotes, cracked cases, worn blades and damaged key heads may require anything from a shell replacement to a complete new programmed key.
Simple booking process
A photo and the correct vehicle details prevent the wrong key from being quoted or ordered. Once compatibility is confirmed, the appointment can be arranged at the vehicle.
Provide the make, model, year, location and whether any working key remains.
Photos, the key style and sometimes the VIN are used to confirm compatibility.
The replacement key is cut and programmed at the vehicle where supported.
Lost key 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.
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.
