Smart keys we program
Smart keys, also called proximity or keyless keys, talk to the car by radio so you can unlock and start without pressing anything. Each one has to be matched to the car's immobiliser. We carry the keys and the programming equipment for most makes.
- Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT and Skoda
- Ford, including Kuga, Puma and Focus keyless
- Land Rover and Range Rover
- Toyota and Lexus
- Nissan, Kia and Hyundai
- BMW, Mini and Mercedes-Benz (model dependent)
Smart key not being detected?
If the car says "key not detected", it's often a flat battery in the key or a fault with the key itself. We can test it on the spot, and a battery or repair is far cheaper than a new key. See key fob repair.
Smart key questions
How much does a smart key cost in Reading?
It depends on the make, model and year. Send us those details for a fixed price.
Can you program a smart key if I have none left?
For many cars, yes. Some newer models need extra steps, and we'll tell you when you call if yours is one of them.
Is an aftermarket smart key as good as the dealer's?
Good quality aftermarket keys work the same day to day. Where a genuine key is available we can price both so you can choose.
