Types of Car Keys - Why Car keys Need to be Programmed 

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the comment.

How do I program just the key to the car ? On a 2000 nissian pathfinder Not a fob Just the key

@@ClayManJay 2000 Nissan Pathfinder - Nice! This would be an unorthodox job using a retro programmer called the T-300. I'm sure there's other methods to pull this off but this is mines assuming no keys is present. If a key is present then duplicating of the transponder is highly recommend to save on labor and time. Use the 10 pin connector cable for the NATS 2 system and not OBD16. Make sure you use the "Nissan" adapter in between the cable and the unit itself for success.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks!

Hmmm. May be a faulty remote. www.acmelocksmith.com/replacement-car-key-and-remotes/

Wtf. You loose anything you have to pay for it. That's life freaky 😁

They vary. I don't know what you would use over there.

where in Kenya? I grew up in Kisumu... Jambo Bwana. Now live in Seattle. Hear hoping to see if I can program a new key to my Titan. I know how to sync the fob.

When I use the term "Key coding" I'm normally referring to getting the cuts for a key by using a code. www.acmelocksmith.com/blog/what-to-do-lost-all-car-keys/#car-keys-replacement-by-VIN Programming is adding the key/fob to the car.

Thanks!

We are having a temporary issue that we hope to have fixed soon. Thanks for watching

The issue has been resolved. www.acmelocksmith.com/buy-car-keys-car-remotes-online/

Yes. We often just say programming the key to the car but yes the computer in the car is learning to recognize the inductance of the key.

A locksmith will most likely be able to originate a key for the vehicle without any problems (other than what I mentioned in the video) but you're not going to be able to do it yourself.

That would just depend on what's popular in your area. Find out what the most popular cars are for your city. We stock almost every key blank but only the most common remotes/fobs for our area.

Some cars are on board programmable. Some need software to connect to the computer. Check out our website, search for your vehicle, and select the fob you have. If it is something you can program yourself you will see a tab with programming instructions. If there is no tab, somebody needs to connect to the car's computer. www.acmelocksmith.com/buy-car-keys-car-remotes-online/

Glad to help

All that's needed is an enterprising high school dropout who works at the dealership parts counter, with a "night time job". I have had cosmetic parts removed from my cars at authorized new car dealerships when I brought my vehicles in for required warranty service.

There are a number of them available. They are limited in what they can do. Older, more common cars. The CK100 is probably one of the better ones. You can get it on eBay for around $150. ebay.us/8oxpvc . Just be sure to understand what it can and cannot do for you.

Your local locksmith should be able to do it.

You don't get your key programmed to your car if it's a VATs key. If you already know your existing key's resister value, I think if's from 1 through 15 or so, you just buy the right key blank with that resister value. Then get that key duplicated from the original key that's working. If you don't have a working key then you will have to get the ignition cylinder pulled then cut that VATs key off of the key code stamped on that cylinder then install everything back assuming that you know the resister value your car requires. If you don't know the resister value then it's a different process. Either the locksmith use the VATs decoder and you pay him for his service or you can buy all 15 or so key blanks with different resister value and cut the metal part all same so all the keys turn the ignition then it's guaranteed that one of the 15 keys will work because it has to be one of those 15 VATs resister value. www.google.com/search?q=gm+vats+key+chart&sxsrf=ALeKk03VG0ATwlmXKh0s2CvRYe6QtYBoGw:1618551711816&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=WqnoprD2kQ6S9M%252C7XVG2HpIErDCVM%252C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kQHcdIadIQF7Cm8I43BtydecTn6qA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwip99T-hoLwAhVBvJ4KHYz2B0MQ9QF6BAgPEAE&biw=1920&bih=947#imgrc=WqnoprD2kQ6S9M It shows the resister values of the VATs keys. What I did when I couldn't afford to buy the VATs decoder was that I bought a variable resister potentiometer for 10 bucks or so and connected in line with the orange wires that is ran from the ignition to the car. I dialed it until I see the resister value falling into each value on the multimeter then turned the key without the VATs pallet. If it doesn't start then turn the dial to the next value and turn the ignition. There is a 4 or 10 minutes shutdown time between each attempt so it could take up to a couple of hours. Eventually the car will start. It's basically what the VATS decoder does but costs $300. It's your choice now at that point. You can leave that potentiometer there and use a regular key without the pallet or you buy the key blank with that resister value and make a copy of it then remove the potentiometer. ***It happened to me when I was making a key for a lady that when I removed the potentiometer while the car was running I was able to turn off and start the car without the VATs key, basically I disabled the VATS system sort of. Accidental discovery and not sure you can repeat that process. I forgot whether I connected the orange wire back or not but you can try without connecting it back and connected back. It's my two cents. Sorry it's two months late but I just found you comment.

Most emergency services do that to get you on your way. It's impossible to stock the thousands of different remote key combos. Best thing to do is head into a locksmith shop. They'll be able to order you the remote/key, k copy it and add it to your vehicle for a lot less than it cost to get that original key made.

Best bet would be to contact a local locksmith. Some won't program unless you buy the key from them, so since you're out of state it might be better just to go that route. Thanks for thinking of us though!

In some cases, totally true.

Depends on vehicle. In many cases a key is required.

According to my data the Elantra (the US version) must be programmed by a locksmith/dealer. Your local locksmith will know.

Some cars are "on-board" compatible and can be programmed by you. Go to our website: www.acmelocksmith.com/buy-car-keys-car-remotes-online/ look up your car and select the key or remote. If it can be programmed by you, you will see the instructions for how to program that key/remote under a tab called "Programming Instructions"

Awesome!

How...with BMW proprietary protections in place?

@@stevejudge3561with the correct tools for example I can make bmw key and Mercedes keys with autel IM608 and with newer cars I have OEM software access but that’s mostly for the last 2 or 3 years anything older then 2020 I can do with autel or key tool plus pad or Obdstar key master dp plus c or auto pro pad and so on some keys require special tools like sprinter van keys needs a tool called kr55 which lets u program keys by OBD for add key when it’s all keys lost I have to pull EIS and read immo data that way and then make key same with bmw the older ones I can do by OBD and the newer ones I can add a key by OBD but if it’s all keys lost I have to pull CAS module or BDC or FEM and read immo data that way and then program key VW is the same but sometime u need to pull cluster and then for the blade I just Lishi the door lock and cut key that way I can even do Mercedes IR keys but only till about 2014/2015

Look up your year make and model on our website. Once you select the key if you see a tab labeled programming, you can program that key yourself. If you do not see that tab, a local locksmith needs to program and add that key.

No. Those are push-to-start cars.

I'm sorry Clayton. Sometimes we can't get them.

@@LocksmithRecommended ok thanks for your reply

this is not amazon, you got a wrong website

@@mvmedved fax! Tf is wrong with this dude ?

James Mello A good/reputable locksmith that works on car keys can make you a key. They will need your car, so will have to tow it or pay for mobile locksmith service.

?? How so?

@@LocksmithRecommended i was looking how to program those keys

@@atseaeto4119 Follow the link in the description, search for your remote, select it. If it's user-programmable directions will be under the programming instructions tab. I don't say how to do it (other than this) because there are literally hundreds of cars with each model having its own unique way.

@@LocksmithRecommended Thank you, I really appreciate your consideration though.

You'd have to find a distributor.

Locksmith or dealer will need to originate a key and program it for you. You'll need to call a local locksmith to see if they can do a Peugeot. We can't.

It's the chip in the key that's important. To be safe, buy one that says it supports your car.

No problem. You will need a locksmith to program the key to your car though. The remote you can program yourself so long as you have a working key. www.acmelocksmith.com/buy-car-keys-car-remotes-online/

Could be shot. A locksmith shop should be able to test the remote to see if it is transmitting a signal.

My Nissan had the same issue. The remote stopped working after a battery change. I had to use on board programming on my car to reprogram the key remote to my car.

Don't know. You can confirm the programming instructions by going to our website, searching then selecting your remote/key. If it's on board programable (meaning you can program it), you'll see a programming instructions tab. Some of the newer models are not. www.acmelocksmith.com/buy-car-keys-car-remotes-online/

Anti theft devices in keys started in 1986, not a few years ago, after the Corvette became the most stolen car in America. GM introduced the VATS system, which had keys paired with resistors to start the car.

You're stuck. Sorry.

If you have an existing key, it will always cost less to get it duplicated locally than have us originate (cut a key by code). You can certainly order the keys through our website. Just take to a local locksmith for duplication and programming. www.acmelocksmith.com/buy-car-keys-car-remotes-online/

Support you're local businesses even if you have german cars

If you have master key with black rubber head you can program additional key yourself. Check on RU-vid how.

You must have missed it. Most keys are not onboard board programmable. Meaning you can't program them yourself. If you can program them yourself, as we mention in the video, we have those directions on our website (or they will be in your user manual). You'll need to look them up as there are literally 100s of different ways to program keys depending on the make and model of the car. Goto www.acmelocksmith.com/buy-car-keys-car-remotes-online/ look up you key and select it. If you can program it, there will be a tab with programming instructions. If that tab is not there, you cannot do it yourself.

No way I'm being a key cutter as this blokes channel is full of fool questions. You would need patience of a saint in this trade 🤰

When I shoot these they end up being 20-30 minutes long. I cut them down to some amount of time people will actually watch 🤣

@@LocksmithRecommended Understandable. Thank you for making the effort.

Yes. But it would be less expensive to get it duplicated at your local locksmith.

🤣. Yeah. Too many!

@@LocksmithRecommended I feel you 🤣... Anyway what's would be the standard cost for a smart key? In this case I'm interested in a lost key for a Ford Fusion 2017

@@maddog9793 Key, Remote and FOB prices vary wildly. From a few dollars to a several hundred dollars. If you just need a replacement key, check out our website for key/remote pricing. www.acmelocksmith.com/buy-car-keys-car-remotes-online/ key cutting and programming in your area should be in the ballpark of what we charge. If you've lost everything, you'll need a locksmith out to your car. You can check out this article to understand why. www.acmelocksmith.com/blog/what-to-do-lost-all-car-keys/

Doesn't sound like the guy knows what he's talking about. There are some keys you can add to the car yourself. Especially older ones. We provide those instructions on our website when you can do it yourself. Most newer cars will require a computer interface though. We try to stay competitive with our key pricing, but as with most things, I am sure you can find them online someplace for less. A lot of our customers prefer supporting a small, US, veteran-run business than sending the money to some CEO someplace to pay for his next yacht or out of the country.

@@LocksmithRecommended don't matter what your looking for in life lol there is always going to be alot of misinformation about alot of stuff as my dad always says ignorance is bliss if im going to buy something do something or be apart of something i have a check list i mark one is self research 2 is people's opinions that are not necessarily involved and then people who have benn there done it and went through it all the way like im also going to join the military i did reach i talked about it to friends and family and i talked to people i know and trust that have benn in a few different branches of service i decided on the corp's right now I'm working on meeting the weight requirements

Highly unlikely. You usually need to replace remotes / keys with the remotes / keys the car came with originally.

Depends on the car. It's high for a typical car, but not too high. We would charge $49-69 in our area.

I was quoted 68 for the key and 140 for the programming. 2015 chevy cruze with remote start.

@@LocksmithRecommended can u pls give me contact no

No. Sorry. You can order a key through us that will ship to you, but you're going to have to find somebody local that will cut it in program it.

@@LocksmithRecommended thanks. Im try the guy didn't show up.

Can't do it yourself. Locksmith or Jaguar mechanic/dealer (most likely).

In central California

Which type? Some PT Cruisers are just good old keys. Some are transponders that need programming and some have remote key heads, that also need programming.

We address that in the video. You must have just missed it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4lcEUxuiG0g.htmlsi=FOiW_lX9hw126nOf&t=270

Yours is a proximity key/fob. Her's is not, so her car is not setup to support the feature you are looking for.

Still have key fob/& key for 2007 Honda CRV but casing is split. Pressure taping it together as we speak. This is chip key still erratically opens most doors and windows and starts engine. Can I buy the replacement key and reprogram from my master key under.those conditions?

مبروك

To program, we have to connect to the car's computer. So you'll need a locksmith or dealer.

@@LocksmithRecommended yes, I got it done. Thank you. $125. Not bad

Sorry to hear that. It sucks, I know.

@@LocksmithRecommended Guess there is no way to fix this problem ??

@@ryanreynolds7771 if the dealer won't do it, there's not much hope. We couldn't do it.

you can oder the key from internet . but they should have to clear picture of your key and key number . vehicle information please go to the AliExpress . and online key cutting systems are available 100 type of company . good luck .

If it's not a transponder key and you can provide proof of ownership, we can certainly do that for many vehicles. But if it's transponder key it won't matter because you need to have that key programmed to the car in order for the car to run.

What do you mean by transpondeur key? Because i have a Toyota rav4 that i needed a key cus my own are lost I contact a friend and told me that it's possible to do it with a chassis number

@@boubamouhamed7798 It is possible to cut a key from the VIN number. However when you put that key into the car and turn the ignition the car will not start. A transponder key has a chip in the keyhead and that chip needs to be programmed to the car in order for the car to run. That requires a locksmith on site.

Some won't. We do though, and a lot of locksmith shops will.

@@LocksmithRecommended I won't. They buy a cheap chinese knockoff on ebay to try to save money at my expense. Then they want me to help them do it. I am a professional locksmith and I prefer to sell a quality product that I can stand behind.

No issue there. Thanks for watching! ✌

@Jayceon Azariah dude stop following me, i dont hast instagramm, only pornhub account, so dont waste your time. I will not open an instagramm account, i dont need it.

In most cases yes. Call a local automotive locksmith and ask them if they can "key up" a new ignition/door lock to your existing keys for a VW.

@@LocksmithRecommended ok thank you!
