The key will open the doors and turn over the ignition, but it will not start the engine.    Laser-cut keys can be found in more modern cars that have transponder chips.

The majority of car brands have agreed to a common procedure for key programming, so it should not be difficult to find out the proper method to program a key for your vehicle.      How does key cutting get done?    Modern car keys feature transponder chips that communicate with the car's computer system to initiate the engine. This happens when the key is within the range of the car's key recognition sensor, which is typically on or near the ignition.    To duplicate a car key using a transponder, a locksmith uses a special machine known as a sidewinder key duplicator. This machine resembles a miniature CNC laser or mechanical cutter that can create copies of your key that match the shape of the original keys. These machines are not accessible to the public. Only locksmiths who are certified and trained can use them.    Although these machines are powerful but they are also difficult to operate and require a great deal of knowledge. This is why it is important to find a locksmith with the appropriate expertise and training in the creation of new keys. A good locksmith will also be able to help you reprogramme your existing keys. The process is similar to initial programming. However, the technician might use a different method that involves connecting to the vehicle’s computer system using the OBD II connector.    If you require an extra key, a professional will cut and program the key for you in just a few minutes. It's better to design a spare key according to your own preferences in case you lose your key than risk losing your vehicle and having to pay hundreds of pounds in the dealer to replace it.    You can save money by purchasing a blank version of a key at your local hardware store and having it copied by professional locksmith. Then, you will need to follow the instructions in your owner's guide on how to program your new key.    There are a variety of reasons you might need an extra key, such as the possibility that the car key head is broken inside the lock, or your key fob malfunctions. In certain situations the best solution could be to purchase a new key shell from the automaker, and have it cut by a locksmith. You will have to transfer the internals from the old key head, which includes the chip and battery for the remote fob to the new one.    What is the cost for key cutting and programming?    Many factors influence the cost of cutting and programming keys. The type and complexity, the design of the key (including any special features) and the method used to cut it are all elements that affect the price. The cost can also vary depending on the location and the locksmith you choose.    It is usually less expensive to copy a basic car key, which uses an iron blade to open and start an engine, than other types of keys like key fobs. This is because these kinds of keys do not contain transponder chips, which must be programmed into the vehicle's ignition system. This involves creating a signal to the key to recognize and transmit a message that matches the voltage of the car's ECU (electronic control unit).    To program a new key fob that has a transponder chip you will need to visit an expert who is equipped with the appropriate tools and software. This could be a local locksmith or dealer key replacement specialist. The ECU needs to be scanned in order to get the key code required to program the remote. The code is then entered into the key cutting and programming software to ensure that the key code matches.    Unlike other key types, most transponder chip keys need to be programmed by a dealership professional in order to work properly. The reason is that the key's chip must be programmed with the unique code that is stored in the computer of the car. The dealer will have the software and hardware needed to program the key, and also the proper programming codes.    While cloning may be an affordable option for those who want a spare car key it's not the ideal option if you've lost your keys. Cloning is a viable option however it does not transmit a signal to the computer in the vehicle. In the end, even if your car keys are stolen, you'll still be able start the vehicle. You should never risk the possibility of losing your keys not having an extra key cut and programmed. This is especially true for modern cars.    Where can I get my key cut and programmed?    A professional locksmith is the best option to get a car's key cut and programmed. They have the required specialized equipment and machinery to do the job. Also, they are experienced in working with various vehicles, allowing them to quickly assess the situation and offer you the appropriate service.    You can duplicate the key if you wish to make a traditional key without a transponder chip. The locksmith will select the appropriate blank for your year, year of manufacture and model, and then utilize a machine to trace the initial contours of the shape of the key. This process typically takes only a few minutes.    If you're looking for a spare that is programmed to work with your car's system, then the process gets more complex. To do this locksmith, they'll need to know the identification number of your vehicle (VIN) which is found on a lot of official documents, including the title and registration of your vehicle. The locksmith will utilize this information to determine the code and create a working key compatible with your car.    There are not many locksmiths that offer this service. You should find one that does before you make an appointment. A professional locksmith can ensure you get the most affordable solution.    In addition to key cutting and programming, many locksmiths also offer an option called cloning which is a more affordable option for those who've lost their keys to their car or are looking for an alternative. Instead of cutting a key, which is more complicated it is cloning that uses the key's microchip to read the information and create a duplicate key that works with your car.

You'll need your original key along with the model, make, and year of your vehicle to schedule an appointment.
