CAR FOB KEY AND TRANSPONDER KEY PROGRAMMING SERVICES

When replacing a lost or damaged key, you need a programmable car fob and transponder key. These keys’ electronic components connect with your car’s immobiliser system, alarm, and remote locking and unlocking. If the key’s electrical components are not programmed correctly, it may not start the automobile or operate the locks.
Programming a car fob key or transponder key requires specialised equipment and knowledge. Each make and model of car has different programming requirements. Professional locksmiths and automotive technicians can programme your upgraded car keys. Car fob and transponder key programming are necessary for car safety and functionality.

WHEN IS KEY PROGRAMMING NECESSARY?

REPLACING CAR KEY

After creating a new car key, the immobiliser and remote functions must be programmed before the engine and remote central locking functions can be used.

REMOTE OR IMMOBILISER FAILURE

A transponder key or fob that has lost synchronisation with the car must be reprogrammed to work properly again.

THE LOSS OR THEFT OF A FOB KEY OR TRANSPONDER KEY

If you’ve misplaced both car keys or had them stolen, your first call should be to the police. Your second call should be to a locksmith service. The old keys must be deleted from the vehicle’s memory before replacement keys can be programmed. The car won’t start with a key in the ignition.
FOB, TRANSPONDER, OR VEHICLE BATTERY GONE
Some keys can be used immediately after a battery replacement. Some models, especially recently installed ones, have keys that need to be reprogrammed or resynchronized before use.

WATER INTRUSION
These keys are not water-resistant. Corrosion caused by water intrusion inside the remote can disrupt transmissions. Replacing and reprogramming the battery should fix the problem.
