Can you unlock my car without damaging it?

Can you make a new car key without the original?
In many cases, yes. We use secure diagnostics (OBD2, and where required, EEPROM/immobiliser procedures) to create and program a new key. For more detail, see car key replacement Slough.
My car says “key not detected.” What should I do?
This can be a key battery issue, a faulty fob, or a problem with the vehicle’s antenna/immobiliser. We can test the fob, replace batteries, and reprogram or repair as needed. Our team handles both key fob not working issues and advanced programming.
