Car Key Programming

It is essential to program your car keys to ensure that the replacement fobs you buy will work with your vehicle. Without this key, the key will engage the ignition cylinder, but won't start the engine or unlock the doors.

Professional locksmiths equipped with the required equipment can reprogram your keys. A lot of vehicles, particularly luxury cars, require that only the dealer is allowed to create new keys.

The process to do this yourself varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. In general, you'll need to insert the spare key in the ignition and turn it (according to the instructions in your owner’s manual) until the car enters the programming mode. You'll need to be quick because this will only last a few seconds before your car key cutting and programming leaves the mode.

Once your vehicle is in programming mode, you will need to repeat the process for each key you want to program. The instructions contained in the owner's manual must be specific to the key type and model that you want to program, since some models have additional security features that need to be enabled (for instance, a passcode that is required to access certain programming modes).

Certain models of vehicles require an additional code that must be obtained from the dealer at a cost to you. This code protects you from "skimming", which is when a thief attempts to read the data of your key through the OBD2 port in order to start the car and steal it.

This is a great method to save money on a replacement key, but it's crucial to know that if your key isn't properly programmed it won't be able to unlock or start the car.
