Car Key Replacement & Spare Key Programming

The Right Key Programming for Your Vehicle

Not every vehicle requires manufacturer software to program a replacement or spare key. For many established vehicle platforms, professional aftermarket key-programming equipment provides a proven and appropriate programming route.

OEM Key Specialists uses professional systems including Autel, Advanced Diagnostics, Abrites and other specialist equipment for supported vehicles, covering everything from spare keys and remote keys through to all-keys-lost situations.

On newer and more security-protected vehicles, where conventional aftermarket programming is not available or the manufacturer procedure is the appropriate route, we can use genuine manufacturer diagnostic software and authorised security access where supported.

This means we can provide key programming across a much wider range of vehicle generations — from established platforms through to supported newer vehicles.

Spare, Replacement and Smart Keys

OEM Key Specialists supplies and programs remote keys, transponder keys, proximity/smart keys and emergency blades for supported cars and vans. Work is carried out at the vehicle wherever practical, so there is normally no need to recover the vehicle to a main dealer simply to add a key.

Types of Keys We Can Supply

Remote and flip keys
Transponder keys
Smart / proximity keys
Emergency key blades
Genuine manufacturer keys where required or requested and available
High-quality aftermarket keys where appropriate

Why Some Vehicles Need Manufacturer-Level Access

Many vehicles can be programmed efficiently using professional locksmith equipment. Others require security credentials, online manufacturer access or protected diagnostic functions. We use the route that suits the vehicle rather than forcing every job through the same tool.

What We Need Before We Attend

We normally need the registration or VIN, make/model/year, your location and whether a working key is still available. That lets us identify the correct key and programming method before travelling.
