A guide to car keys and remote controls in one.

  1. A mechanical key will release the steering lock
  2. A coded 'electronic transponder chip' is read by the car when the key is inserted in the ignition
  3. A remote control will unlock the doors and turn off the alarm

 

Transponder keys

  • Electronic, coded transponder chips embedded in the plastic body of the key were introduced from 1995. The chip is passive, so it doesn't need a battery – the code is read when you turn the key in the ignition.
  • If the transponder chip is broken or missing, the engine won't start.
  • You will need to return to the dealer if you wish to replace your key. The dealer will have to reprogram the immobiliser's control unit to recognise the new key code. Or ring us and you be back on the road without the fuss.

Master keys

Many early cars were supplied with a 'master key' (often red), which was not intended for normal use. The dealer uses the master key to programme a new or replacement key for the car. You may be told by the dealer if you have lost your keys including the master key you will have to replace your immobilizer. This is not so, give us a ring we can have you back on the road within the hour in most cases.

Early Fiats up to 1999 had a red key system, also Honda, and Fords. A Dealer will tell you that. Unfortunately, if you damage or lose the master key it could cost hundreds of pounds to replace. You may have to replace the complete engine management system costing more than £1,000.This is the normal procedure or ring us we can add new keys into the E.C.U {Electronic Control Unit}or into the Immobilizer unit without replacing the system saving you time and money.

  • From 2000 onwards Car manufacturers have virtually stopped using master keys. They now hold car-specific security information in a central database, which the dealer uses when reprogramming the car and a replacement key. If you haven’t got any Security Information E.g. Carpass or key number/pin code we can obtain this for you but we will require a copy of your V5 Document and two copies of a House Hold Bill with your name and Address on all. And a payment before we come out to you.
  • Note we are Auto Locksmiths and can obtain the information we need to get you on the road within the hour in most jobs.

Rolling codes

Early transponders used 'fixed codes' – the key sends exactly the same coded signal every time it's used.

  • Keys with 'rolling codes', which means the transponder code changes every time the key is used, were introduced from 1999 and are now very common.
  • These should be virtually impossible to copy. They offer improved security but they're even more expensive to replace if lost.
  • Time and cost vary from manufacturer to manufacturer – expect to pay around £100 and wait up to three days for a replacement key. Unless you give us a ring and you could be on the road today!
  • The key might be even more expensive to replace if it includes a remote control for operating central locking and the alarm. We supply cut and program most Keys and Remotes on site so keep looking on our Products page for special offers!

I HAVE LOST MY CAR KEYS...........HERE ARE SOME JOBS WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST!

A body shop had a Lexus IS200 which they had in for repair. Before they had sprayed it the keys were put on top of the roof and the roof was covered over with sheeting.

Yes the keys was thrown away the bin men came that morning they phoned Lexus and were Quoted £1200 to recover the car replace the E.C.U and new keys and it would take two days for the parts.

Then they gave us a call, the car was delivered back to the customer the same day and the body shop saved hundreds of pounds.

We had a customer who lost his keys at the local council tip on a fiat punto 2003 model. He phoned the Dealer and was told these keys are pre-programmed and have to come from the Factory it will take 3-5 days and the car will have to be recovered. He then phoned us and was back on the road within the hour of us arriving.


 

A chap phoned one day and told us that he was a delivery driver{we won’t mention the company}and had lost his keys down the toilet where he was delivering and the transit van was full of parcels and blocking the customers driveway .He was very pleased to see us!
