Understanding Smart Keys

Smart car keys eliminate the need for traditional locks and ignition. They use proximity sensors and encrypted radio frequencies to detect the key near the vehicle. When everything works, it’s seamless; when it doesn’t, you may be locked out or unable to start the car. Our locksmiths specialize in diagnosing and reprogramming these systems on the spot.

When You Might Need a Locksmith

• “Key Not Detected” or “Key Error” message appears
• The car doesn’t unlock or start, even with the fob nearby
• Buttons are unresponsive or stuck
• The remote was lost, stolen, or damaged
• You replaced the battery, and it stopped working
• You only have one working key and want a backup
