What Is Car Key Programming?

Auto locksmiths have been using car key programming for years to make new keys for customers. This process involves using a special machine to read the transponder chip in the car key and duplicating it. Key programming is also used to deactivate old keys when a customer loses their car key or has it stolen.

At Locksmith Empire, we have fully trained car key programming technicians proficient in programming different types of car keys.

How does car key programming works?

Car key programming is a process that allows your car keys to communicate with your car's ignition system. This process usually involves using a special device connected to your car's computer system.

The device reads the code stored on your car key and then sends the code to the ignition system. The process can be done by a professional auto locksmith or car dealership. An auto locksmith like Locksmith Empire has a specialty in car key programming and therefore will charge a more affordable rate than dealerships.

Dealerships have more overhead charges which they distribute to their clients. Working with Locksmith Empire, however, ensures that you get a high-quality programming service but at unbeatable rates. We have the right automotive key programming tools and know-how to offer car key programming services for all types of cars.

Which Type of Car Keys Can Locksmith Empire Program?

There are three types of car keys that our expert locksmiths can program: transponder keys, remote head keys, and key fobs.

Transponder keys

A transponder key is a vehicle key that has a chip in it that allows the car to start. The chip sends a signal to the car’s computer, and if the computer recognizes the signal, it will start the car. If you have a newer model car, chances are it has a transponder key.

Transponder keys are the most common type of car key, and they can be programmed with a special device called a key programmer. Locksmith Empire has highly experienced technicians who can program a transponder key for your car within 30 minutes.

Keyless entry key fobs

A key fob offers an electronic locking mechanism that controls the car’s access remotely. It’s a keyless entry remote control that unlocks the doors with the press of a button. Our experienced locksmiths at Locksmith Empire have advanced tools to program any vehicle key fob.

Key fobs are the least common type of programmable car key and they can be programmed with a special device called an RFID reader.

Our Car Key Programming Methods

There are different car key programming methods that Locksmith Empire specializes in. These include:

Onboard Programming

This type of programming doesn’t need sophisticated key programmers for our locksmiths to create a key fob. It's most common for some cars such as GM. We will come with a spare key which we can use to program a new key for you. Whether you have your original key or not, we will create a duplicate key and program it for you.

OBD2 Programming

Our locksmith technicians use this method for other car brands that don’t allow onboard programming. OBD2 uses an advanced key programmer, which our experts will have when coming to your location. Unlike onboard, this method is a little costlier because it involves in-depth knowledge of dealer tools that demand a commercial license.

EEPROM Programming

This is the most complex car key programming method Locksmith Empire and any other car locksmith uses. It involves pure electronics and hence requires advanced knowledge of electronics technology, soldering, and circuit boards. It’s the ideal programming method when the anti-theft system cannot be bypassed to get into programming mode via OBD2.

You can trust Locksmith Empire to handle any type of car keys programming. There’s no key programing that’s too difficult for us. Call us now and we will provide you with reliable electronic car key programming services.
