The spare key doesn't work when starting the engine.

It solves problems with key copies that don't work when starting the car, ensuring that the chip and programming are recognized by the car.

Professional Solutions


When a spare key fails to start the vehicle, it's usually because the transponder wasn't programmed correctly or lacks the proper chip. Even if the key can unlock doors or turn in the ignition, the immobilizer will prevent the engine from starting if the chip is invalid. A certified automotive locksmith can verify the chip type, program it correctly into the ECU, or create a fully compatible copy, ensuring it functions just like the vehicle's original key.
