Electronic Car Key Services
Transponder Keys
A transponder chip communicates with the vehicle immobilizer. A correctly cut key may still fail to start the vehicle if the chip is not programmed.
Remote Key Fobs
Remote lock, unlock, trunk, and panic functions depend on compatible electronics and correct pairing with the vehicle.
Push-to-Start & Proximity Keys
Smart keys use proximity communication and vehicle-specific programming procedures. Compatibility must be confirmed before service.
KEY PROGRAMMING TIP
A Key That Fits the Ignition May Still Not Start the Car.
On transponder-equipped vehicles, the mechanical blade and electronic authorization are separate parts of the security system.
Programming must match the correct vehicle platform and compatible key hardware.
Programming vs. Replacement
Programming is appropriate when you have a compatible new or existing key or fob that needs to be paired with the vehicle.
Replacement may be needed when the original key or fob is lost, physically damaged, or electronically defective.
