Smart keys (Keyless Go)
We make duplicates of smart keys with Keyless Go and program them to the car with modern equipment.
About the service
With a smart key the car recognises it by radio signal, without it being put into a lock, and the protection is more complex than with an ordinary chip. On many makes access to the system goes through protected protocols where every step is verified. That is why the key has to be exactly from the series the car expects: a key from another generation will not be accepted, even if it looks the same.
Beware of the "cheap" key from an unclear source. A key from the wrong series is not accepted by the car, and the money you saved is lost in time. The safest way is to tell us the make, model and year before you buy, so we can check what is needed.
When you need it
- The smart key is lost and the car has no spare.
- The key case or circuit board is damaged.
- You want an additional smart key.

Why trust us
We work with equipment from Autel, Xhorse, Keydiy and Obdstar, with up-to-date software and valid licences, because every new model year brings new protocols. This is how we have made smart keys for premium makes and for an electric Kia Niro that was left without a single key and drove away the same day from the spot where it had stopped. With the newest premium generations we first check whether the specific system is covered, and only then take the job.
Frequently asked questions
Is it possible to make a smart key if I have none?
Yes, in many cases it is. In the blog we describe a Kia Niro with no key at all and a new smart key made on the spot.
How much does a smart key cost?
The price depends on the model and the system. Programming chip keys is from €45 to €180. Call with the make, model and year for an indicative price.
Can I buy a key elsewhere and have you program it?
You can, but only if it is the exact one for your car. A key from the wrong series or from an unclear source is often not accepted by the car, so call us with the make, model and year before you order.
