Car Key Programming And Diagnostics In NW1
Modern cars use immobilisers and transponders to prevent theft. A transponder is a small chip in your key that “talks” to your car’s immobiliser; without it, the engine won’t start. We handle:
- Transponder Key Programming: OBD2 programming for standard chip keys
- Smart/Proximity Keys: Keyless entry and push-to-start programming and pairing
- EEPROM/ECU Work: For models that need more advanced solutions when all keys are lost
- Remote Key Repairs: Soldering, button replacement, and circuit-level checks where viable
- Battery And Key Shells: Dead battery replacement and worn shell refurbishment
If your dash shows a key symbol, or you see “key not detected,” we can help with specialist car key programming.

FAQs For Camden Town Drivers
Are your methods non-destructive?
Yes. We use non-destructive techniques wherever possible, such as lock-picking and specialised entry tools. If a lock is severely damaged or has been tampered with, we’ll explain the options, potential risks, and costs before proceeding.
Can you make a new car key without the original?
In most cases, yes. We can create keys from the vehicle’s locks and immobiliser data using dealer-level diagnostics and EEPROM/ECU methods when required. If you’ve lost your only key in NW1, call us and we’ll advise next steps immediately.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
It varies by make, model, and key type. Many standard transponder keys can be cut and programmed during a single visit. Smart/proximity keys and some prestige brands can take longer due to security protocols, but we’ll give you a clear estimate on arrival.

Yes. Our mobile service supports emergencies outside typical hours. For urgent help, see our emergency auto locksmith page or call us directly.
