01 / The essentials
WHAT DOES CAR
KEY CODING INVOLVE?
Car key coding allows a compatible key and the vehicle’s security system to recognise each other.
Modern vehicle keys contain electronic components that the car must recognise. Key programming or coding establishes that communication, with the immobiliser and vehicle configuration determining the work required.
Whether you have a new key to pair or an existing key that needs attention, tell us what you have and what the vehicle is doing.
