Frequently asked questions

Do I need the original key to make a duplicate?

It's easiest with the original, but a locksmith can also cut a duplicate from the vehicle's key code if needed.

Can a duplicate chip key start my car?

Yes — as long as the transponder chip is cloned or programmed, the duplicate will start the engine like the original.
