Good starting point

  • Adding a spare key when you still have one working key
  • Transponder cloning/generation for supported chips
  • Remote/key fob replacement for supported models
  • Selected older OBD programming jobs

Best next step: let us check it

  • Smart key / proximity key / push-to-start systems
  • All keys lost
  • Newer European premium platforms
  • Vehicles with security gateway, online dealer login, or extra adapters

Clear and honest first

  • Not every system can be confirmed remotely
  • Mercedes-Benz secured key systems require manual confirmation
  • Newer secured BMW systems must always be checked manually
  • No work without vehicle papers and ID check

Why an in-person check is often better

Car keys differ a lot by version, year, and key type. This online check gives quick guidance, but it should not discourage you: even when the result asks for extra checking, we can often still help after seeing the key, car, and documents.
