Car Key Replacement And Programming In RH14
Modern vehicles use transponders and immobilisers for security. If your key is lost, damaged, or your fob has stopped working, we can create and program a replacement key at your location in Plaistow. We handle:
- Transponder key programming and cloning
- Smart key programming for keyless entry and push-to-start
- Remote fob replacement, repair, and battery replacement
- ECU/immobiliser diagnostics, OBD2 programming, and EEPROM work for certain models
- Laser cut car keys and high-security vehicle keys
A transponder is a small chip in your key that talks to your car’s immobiliser. Without a correctly programmed chip, the engine won’t start. Our dealer-level equipment lets us program new keys without towing your vehicle to a main dealer, saving you time and hassle.
Unsure if your fob can be repaired rather than replaced? See our guidance on a key fob not working.
