Car Key Programming
Who do you call? Where do you go?
In the Minneapolis St Paul Metro Area
You call The Key Guys.
Car remote keys work by communicating with the locks in the specific car by using unique radio signals. In order to communicate with these locks, the remote key must be programmed and synced with the locks in the car. The remote key itself and the car have memory chips built inside of them that allow the key to work. When either the lock or unlock button is pressed on the remote, it sends a signal to the car with instructions on which action should be taken. In addition to locking and unlocking the car doors, the remote key must also be able to unlock the trunk or open the trunk window. Programming is required for the car to recognize the codes that the remote key is sending. (From Ebay)
If you buy car keys from eBay or other third party sources, you may discover that
- The Key is Junk
- The Programming is more difficult than you thought
If that is you, your best option in the Twin Cities metro is to call The Key Guys.
We will come to you, and Program Car Keys correctly so they work and are reliable, or if need be we can set you up with a factory authorized replacement car key.
Today’s car keys with their security features are more expensive than standard metal blanks of the past. But they do save on insurance costs, although you may not notice that.
But nothing is as expensive as a third party key that doesn’t work. Many 3d printed and Chinese imported keys available on eBay and elsewhere are faulty, so beware in the first place. If you do have a good key, the process of programming to your specific car can be challenging. Our staff of professional car key locksmiths are fully trained, bonded and insured.
