Modern vehicles use transponder keys — electronic security devices containing microchips that communicate with your vehicle’s ECU (Engine Control Unit). If the chip signal doesn’t match, the engine immobiliser activates and the car won’t start.
Lost transponder keys are far more complex to replace than traditional keys. Alchin Locksmiths has the specialist diagnostic equipment to supply, cut and program new transponder keys, as well as remove, reset and reinstall ECU immobiliser systems — all on site from our mobile service vans.
