Lost Car Keys – Procedures

The following procedures apply for an ‘all car keys lost’ situation – dependent on the manufacturer, model and year of the vehicle. Please note that with lost keys on some vehicle models, it is necessary to program a minimum of 2 keys to the vehicle before the immobiliser disengages and the security system will allow the vehicle to start.

1. With lost car or van keys, it may be possible for us to attain the key code for the vehicle, cut the key and set the correct transponder ID – before the call-out. We then arrive with a ready-cut key to fit the vehicle and access the immobiliser via the OBD diagnostic port to program the keys into the ignition. Sometimes the remote/central locking will program in sync with the transponder and sometimes it is a separate process for the remotes to work. *Please note that if locks have been changed on the vehicle at any point in the past, manufacturer key codes will only fit the original lock of the vehicle and may not work. Sometimes this results in extra time & costs on the job.
2. If there is no key code available or the locks have been changed on the vehicle, the door lock will need to be picked and decoded to determine the key code for a new key. The key can be cut on-site from the decoded bittings of the lock, to work with the vehicle’s locks and ignition.
3. If you have lost car keys for a vehicle with a seized or non-functional door lock which cannot be freed up, the vehicle will need to be accessed by using airbags and rods to access the vehicle interior. The ignition barrel will need to be picked, or removed and disassembled to access the key code. In some cases the door lock can be removed to access either the key code on the barrel or by disassembling the lock to access the internal settings of the wafers or tumblers, to cut the key.
4. In cases of lost car keys where the immobiliser cannot be accessed and the keys cannot be programmed via OBD, it may be possible to carry out EEPROM work, by removing the immobiliser circuit board and working directly onto the immobiliser chip. This adds time and cost to the process

Transponder operation is usually handled by the immobiliser system on a vehicle whilst the remote and central locking functions are handled by the BCM (Body Control Module) or equivalent manufacturer module. It is a common fault – particularly with older vehicles, that a key transponder will start the vehicle but remote/central locking functions will not operate due to faults within the BCM, wiring loom, fuses or other failed components. We can diagnose these issues on-site. Additional fees applied.
