Transponder Key Programming in Auckland
Most cars built since the late 1990s use a transponder chip in the key. Without the right code the engine will not start, even if the key turns. We program transponder keys on site.

What is a transponder key?
A small chip in the key head talks to the car's immobiliser. If the immobiliser does not recognise the chip, the car will not start. A new key must be cut and then coded to the car.
On-site programming
We connect professional diagnostic equipment to your vehicle and program new keys or remove lost keys from memory, so a lost key can no longer start the car.
