Auto key programming
Auto key programming services involve installing the appropriate transponder chip inside the key and adjusting it to correspond to the transceiver in your car. While a metal key will unlock the car doors and trunk, the car won’t start unless the transceiver receives the correct signal from the transponder key.

However, not all cars require their new keys to be programmed - some older models can still be unlocked and started with just the appropriate metal key. To know if your new car key has to be programmed, get a metal key cut and try starting your car with it. If the car starts - there is no need to program the key. However, be sure to keep the old key out of your car while you try this, because it can mislead you by giving a false positive.
The best way to have your key programmed is to call your local car locksmith. It can be done within just a few minutes, with just the keys or in your car. It takes a little longer if you need a key duplicated, or when you’ve lost your car keys and need a new one cut. Our locksmiths can make you a new key with just the vehicle identification number and program it on the spot.
