Security, Methods, and Training
Modern vehicles use immobilisers and transponders to prevent theft. A transponder is a small chip inside your key that talks to your car’s immobiliser. If they don’t match, the car won’t start. We use:
- OBD2 diagnostics for coding replacement keys and remotes
- EEPROM programming for certain models where data must be read directly from modules
- ECU/Immobiliser programming to pair new keys securely
- Specialist non-destructive entry tools to protect your vehicle’s locks and weather seals
We invest in ongoing training so we can service current technologies, including 2024/2025 smart key systems and high-security keys.
