Car Key Programming And Diagnostics In Hayes
Modern vehicles rely on immobilisers and coded keys. If your car won’t start, the key symbol flashes on the dash, or the car says “key not detected,” you may need programming rather than a simple battery change.
- Transponder Key Programming: We pair a new or replacement transponder to your ECU so the car recognises the chip.
- Smart/Proximity Key Programming: For push-button start and keyless entry systems on brands like BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and Toyota.
- Remote Key Programming and Repair: Fix faulty buttons, replace worn housings, or supply a new remote fob and code it in.
- EEPROM and ECU/Immobiliser Programming: For vehicles requiring advanced programming, we can read and write immobiliser data where appropriate.
If you’re unsure whether your issue is key-related or vehicle-related, we’ll run diagnostics first. Learn more on our dedicated car key programming page, or check common symptoms on key fob not working.
