What is Car Key Programming?
Most modern vehicles require keys with built-in electronic chips (transponders) that communicate with the car’s onboard computer. If the key isn’t correctly programmed, the vehicle won’t start – even if the physical key turns in the ignition.
At BB Locksmiths, we can program new keys from scratch, reprogram after a lost or stolen key, or add additional keys to your car’s system, helping you maintain full control and security over your vehicle.
Our Key Programming Services Include
Programming transponder chip keys
Remote key fob programming
Smart key and keyless entry system programming
ECU reprogramming after lost or stolen keys
