What Are Our Most Popular Transponder Key Programming Services?
Key transponders are complex little devices that contain a lot of technology inside their tiny enclosures. They consist of the physical key, the transponder chip, the plastic or metal shell, and the user buttons on the shell. There’s no need to visit a dealership to have your key reprogrammed. Our state-of-the-art equipment works with your car’s computer system to retrieve the unique key coding for your vehicle.
After that, we cut the metal key and program, or reprogram, the computer chip inside the key shell. Then, when you insert the metal key into the keyway (ignition keyhole), your car’s computer will verify that the key you have inserted is the right one and that its chip is properly programmed. This high-tech method of deterring vehicle theft works to your advantage, but it’s essential to have as many keys as you need for family members. It’s equally important that every key is programmed the right way, which is what we do for our customers.
Key duplication:
If your transponder chip is damaged, unresponsive, missing, or otherwise non-functional, we’ll be happy to reprogram it so that it works like new. Our team members can reprogram the chip if that’s all that’s needed, or they can also cut a new key to replace a broken or damaged one. Either way, we’ll take care of your transponder key programming needs so you can get back on the road quickly and safely.
Reprogramming the chip:
As long as our technicians have access to your car, we can interact with the vehicle’s computer and do all transponder key programming work while sitting in the vehicle.
In-car reprogramming:
As long as our technicians have access to your car, we can interact with the vehicle’s computer and do all transponder key programming work while sitting in the vehicle.
Remote programming:
In some cases, we can reprogram your key even when we don’t have access to your car. We’ll always ask you for the VIN so that we can tell you whether your car is of the type that allows remote programming. IN any case, if it’s possible to do so, we will do the transponder key programming even without being near or inside your vehicle.
Erasing old key codes:
If some of your keys have been lost, it makes sense to reprogram the chip so that whoever has those old keys won’t be able to start your car. In most cases, our experts will do this job while they sit inside your car. That’s often the only way for them and their equipment to gain access to your car’s computer system. Once the old codes are erased, you need not worry about stolen or lost keys being used by anyone. We’ll create a new code, reprogram the chip, and cut the new key to code. You’ll be the only one with these new keys after we finish the transponder key programming.
Repair of the unit:
Sometimes all that’s needed is a simple repair job when the key unit if broken. It’s not safe for the chip to be exposed or to the point that it can fall out of the key unit. Our techs can repair your programmable key so that it works well and is not in danger of falling apart. Technically speaking, this is not a transponder key programming job; it’s just a quick repair, but many people accidentally damage their transponders and need this kind of service.
