Car key programming (www.bos7.cc)

Car key programming is a crucial step in ensuring that the replacement key fob you purchase will work with your car. The key will turn on the ignition, but will it will not start the engine, or unlock doors without this.

You can easily and quickly program your new keys by using locksmiths with the appropriate equipment. Find out more about this procedure and why it is important.

Self-Programming

In the years leading up to the 21st century, car keys technology began to shift away from mechanical keys to the use of a combination of physical and electronic protocols to prevent theft. The new keys are fitted with a microchip that must be programmed in order to connect to the vehicle's electronic system. Professional locksmiths equipped with the required equipment can reprogram your keys. Many cars, especially luxury cars, only allow the dealer to create new keys.

If you want to attempt this yourself, the method varies by manufacturer. In general, you will need to place the spare key into the ignition and turn it (according to the instructions in your owner’s manual) until the car enters the programming mode. You will need to be quick, as this only lasts just a few seconds until your car exits the mode.

You'll need to repeat this process for each key you wish to program after your car is in the programming mode. Your owner's guide should include specific instructions for the model and key type that you want to program. Certain models come with extra security features that must be activated.

Certain models also require a specific code that can only be obtained through the dealer at a cost of programming a car key. This code protects against "skimming", when a thief tries to read the data on your key through the OBD2 ports in order to steal the vehicle.

This is a great method to save money on a replacement key, but it's important to remember that if the key isn't properly programmed it won't allow you to unlock or start the car.

Modern keyless entry systems employ rolling code technology to protect against security breaches. It's important to note that even this technology isn't 100% secure. Thieves could use a technique known as "replay attack" to send a message that is recorded by the car's receiver. Once the message has been recorded, a rogue gadget could retransmit the message to the vehicle's receiver and gain access.

Depending on the model and make of your vehicle, you might be able to program new keys on your own or hire an automotive locksmith to complete the task. Some car companies have an onboard programing process however, others require an advanced programmer connected to the OBD2 port.

When the car is in "programming mode," one or more buttons on the fob are pressed to send the digital identification code to the computer. The computer saves the code and takes the car from programming mode.
