FAST AND QUALITY CAR KEY PROGRAMMING WITH KEYS2GO
All vehicles manufactured after 1995 in the UK require an immobiliser system to be fitted, so ensuring your car keys are correctly programmed is crucial.
Car key programming is a service necessary if you want to change or order a new key. Most modern cars have a key with electronic components and need to be programmed for correct and stable operation. The key can have several programmable functions, for example – raising or lowering the windows, opening the trunk or hood, and even turning on the ignition.
Each of these features must be programmed if you want a complete new key. If this is not done, the buttons on your key will not work. Key programming must be done by a professional, only then can stable operation be guaranteed. Car key programming can be done for almost any car model that supports this function.
When it comes to car key programming, replacements need to be individually automated to work with the existing security system. At Keys2Go, our locksmiths cut and programme a full range of keys using only the most up-to-date equipment.
WHEN KEY PROGRAMMING IS REQUIRED?
MAKING A NEW CAR KEY;
After making a new car key, the immobiliser & remote functions needs to be programmed before they will enable engine start and remote central locking operation.
REMOTE OR IMMOBILISER FAULT;
When the synchronization between a fob or transponder key and the vehicle is lost, the reprogramming process becomes necessary in order to restore the full functionality.
FOB KEY OR TRANSPONDER KEY IS LOST OR STOLEN;
An auto locksmith company should be the second call you are placing after calling the police if one, or both keys are lost or stolen. Reprogramming new car keys requires that the lost or stolen ones have to be erased from the car memory on some vehicle; this will ensure car keys not present will no longer be paired with the car.
FOB KEY OR TRANSPONDER KEY’S BATTERY OR THE VEHICLE’S BATTERY HAS RUN OUT;
After replacing the battery, some keys do not require any programming. Other and especially newer models, do require reprogramming or resynchronization of the vehicle keys before they’ll resume operation.
WATER PENETRATION;
Having the fob or transponder key dropped in the water accidentally brings joy to no one. As it goes with most electronic gadgets, these keys are not compatible with water either. Although some of them are watertight, most are not. Sometimes, when water gets inside the remote, it will cause corrosion which stops the communication with the vehicle. If no other damages are visible, a clean-up of the remote, having the battery replaced and reprogrammed will solve the issue at hand.
