Compatibility

Remote programming depends on the vehicle

Whether a remote or key fob can be programmed, and how, depends on the make, model, year and the remote itself. Frequency, chip type and part number all have to match what the vehicle expects.

We check your vehicle first and tell you whether it can be programmed on site.

  • Remote lock/unlock buttons
  • Transponder chip for starting
  • Combined remote-key units

Questions

Remote / key fob programming: common questions

Can you programme a remote I already bought?

Sometimes. Many remotes sold online do not match the vehicle’s frequency, chip or part number, so we cannot guarantee a customer-supplied remote will be accepted. Mention that you already have a remote in the message; we will ask for the details before booking.

Do you need a working key?

A working key makes many programming jobs simpler, and some vehicles require one. If you have none, the job is usually handled as all keys lost instead.

Will you confirm compatibility before attendance?

Yes. We check the vehicle and remote first and only book attendance when programming is possible.
