Remote Car Key Replacement Across Somerset

This usually means the transponder chip inside the key has lost its programming, even though the remote locking function still works on a separate frequency. The lock and unlock buttons use a different radio system from the immobiliser chip, so one can fail independently of the other. We can recode the transponder without necessarily replacing the whole key.

In most cases, yes — the physical blade can still operate the door lock and ignition. However, if the transponder chip inside has also failed, the engine may not start. Call us and describe the symptoms and we will advise on the most likely cause.

We supply remote key blanks for a wide range of makes and models and programme them to your vehicle on-site. You do not need to source the key separately — contact us with your vehicle details and we will confirm availability.
