Car Keys and Security Expertise
Modern cars use immobiliser chips and coded communications between the key and the vehicle:
-
Transponder Programming
A transponder is a small chip in your key that talks to your car’s immobiliser. If it’s not coded correctly, the engine won’t start. We can program new transponder chips and clone compatible ones for spares. -
Smart/Proximity Keys and Push-to-Start
Keyless systems require synchronising rolling codes and vehicle modules. We handle smart key programming, proximity key replacement, and remote key programming without the dealership wait. -
ECU/Immobiliser and EEPROM
Certain vehicles need deeper programming or data work. Our training and tools allow ECU/immobiliser programming and, when required, EEPROM-level solutions to code keys securely. -
High-Security and Laser-Cut Keys
Many modern blades are laser cut with specific track profiles. Our precision cutting ensures smooth operation and long-term reliability.
If your key fob stopped working or central locking is intermittent, we can assess the fault quickly. For common symptoms, see key fob not working.
