How do you key a car?

Keying a car refers to programming the transponder chip in the key so that it is recognised by the vehicle's immobilizer system. To key a car, you’ll need a scan tool, OBD-II cable or Bluetooth adapter, and special cryptographic keys specific to the vehicle. You can get this information from your local dealership or through the vehicle’s owners manual.

Keying a car involves several steps to ensure it is safely started and driven. Firstly, the ignition cylinder needs to be removed or 'jacked', so that the key can fit inside without being blocked by other components. Once done, remove the old lock cylinder and install a new one, making sure it is aligned perfectly with the key grooves. Next, lubricate all metal parts thoroughly before inserting and turning the key until it clicks into place. Finally, adjust the door latches accordingly before mounting external trim panels in their proper position.
