Can you get a new key fob without the old one?

Losing a car key fob or needing a new one without the original can feel like a hassle, but at Immotec, we make the process straightforward and efficient. Even without the original fob, our skilled auto locksmiths can provide a replacement that’s fully programmed and ready to use. With our mobile service, we come to you—whether you’re at home, work, or roadside—eliminating the need for a dealership visit or towing. Our team handles everything from security programming to key synchronisation, ensuring your new fob works seamlessly with your vehicle, getting you back on the road quickly and securely.

Accessing Your Vehicle’s Information

Even without the original key fob, we can create a new one by accessing specific information about your vehicle. Our locksmiths may require:

• Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): The VIN helps us obtain key specifications unique to your vehicle. This number is usually found on your car’s dashboard, visible through the windscreen, or within the driver’s side door frame.
• Proof of Ownership: For security purposes, we’ll need documentation such as your V5C logbook to confirm ownership.

Programming a New Key Fob

Modern key fobs are complex and often require programming to sync with your vehicle’s onboard computer. Without the original key, we can program a new fob to replace it entirely:

• Transponder Programming: For vehicles with transponder technology, we program the new fob to communicate with your car’s immobiliser, allowing it to start the engine.
• Remote Function Setup: We configure all remote functions, such as lock/unlock, alarm activation, and boot release, so your new fob operates seamlessly with your vehicle.

Security Reset and Reprogramming

In some cases, you may be concerned about the security of your lost key fob. We can reset your car’s security system, effectively removing the lost fob from the car’s memory. This means that only the new key fob will work with your vehicle, enhancing your security and preventing any risks associated with the missing key.

No Need for a Dealership Visit

Dealerships often charge premium rates for key fob replacements and require you to visit their location. With Immotec’s mobile service, we come to you, providing a quicker and more cost-effective solution. We use high-grade tools and the latest programming technology, ensuring your new fob is ready to use on the spot.
