Key Programming

Expert Programming for Modern Vehicle Security Systems

Most vehicles built in the last two decades require more than just a cut key, they need that key electronically programmed to "talk" to your car's immobiliser and security system. At 007 Auto Lock Smiths, we specialise in professional key programming for a wide range of makes and models, using up-to-date diagnostic tools to get it right the first time.

What is Key Programming?

Modern car keys, fobs, and smart keys contain a transponder chip that communicates a unique code to your vehicle's immobiliser system. Unless this code is correctly programmed and recognised by your car, the engine won't start, even if the key physically fits and turns. Programming is what makes a cut key an actual working key.

When You Might Need Key Programming

You've had a new key cut and it needs to be paired to your vehicle
You're adding a spare or additional key to your car's system
Your key or fob has stopped being recognised by your vehicle
You've lost a key and need to reprogram your system for security (removing the lost key's access)
You've bought a used vehicle and need keys programmed to it
Your remote locking or alarm fob has lost sync with your car
