FAQs: MG Keys And Locks
Can you make an MG key without the original?
Yes. We can create and program a new MG key without the original, even in all-keys-lost situations. We identify your model, cut a new blade if required, and pair the key or fob to your MG’s immobiliser using OBD2 or EEPROM methods.
My MG says “key not detected.” What should I do?
Try a second key if you have one and replace the fob battery. If the message persists, the key may need reprogramming or there may be an immobiliser/antenna or central locking issue. We can diagnose and resolve this at your location.
Can you program smart keys for MG EVs like MG4 and MG ZS EV?
Absolutely. We handle smart/proximity keys for modern MG EVs and hybrids, including pairing, testing passive entry/start, and verifying range and button functions after programming.
Do you need to tow my MG to a dealer?
No. As a mobile auto locksmith, we come to you anywhere in Slough or the SL area and complete cutting, programming, or unlocking on-site—usually faster than dealer lead times.
Will you damage my MG when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. In rare cases where a lock is severely damaged or previously tampered with, we’ll explain any risks and get your approval before proceeding.
How long does MG key replacement take?
In many scenarios, same-visit solutions are possible once we’re with your vehicle. The duration depends on the model, key type, and whether all keys are lost. We’ll give you an accurate timescale when you call.
