Transponder chip keys require more than just cutting — they need to be electronically programmed to your vehicle's immobilizer. We do both on-site, with dealer-grade tools.
A transponder key (also called a chip key) contains a small electronic microchip embedded in the key head. When you insert the key into the ignition, the vehicle's antenna ring reads the unique signal from the chip. If the signal matches the car's immobilizer system, the engine starts. If not, it won't.
This anti-theft technology became standard on most vehicles from the mid-1990s onward. It means a blank key cut to the correct pattern won't start the car unless the chip is also programmed — that's where we come in.
We carry chip blanks for all major manufacturers and have the programming tools to pair them with your specific vehicle's immobilizer, all done mobile at your location.
We identify your exact vehicle and cut a new key blank to the factory specifications using our computerized key cutter.
We connect our dealer-level diagnostic tool to your vehicle's OBD port to access the immobilizer system and prepare it for a new key.
The new chip is programmed to your vehicle's immobilizer. We test start the engine to confirm everything works perfectly.
