Push-to-start vehicles use a smart proximity key that unlocks and starts the car while it stays in your pocket. We help replace and program lost smart keys.
A smart key communicates wirelessly with the vehicle, letting you unlock the doors and start the engine with a push button while the key remains in your pocket or bag. Because it is more sophisticated than a traditional key, it must be programmed to pair with your specific car. Smart keys are typically the most complex key type to replace.
Replacing a smart key requires the correct part for your year, make, and model, plus programming to the vehicle. Proof of ownership and the VIN are needed, and some vehicles enforce a security delay before a new key is accepted. Having a spare made in advance is the easiest way to avoid a costly all-keys-lost situation.
