Replacement of lost car keys

How to Recover Access and Programming

When all the vehicle's keys are lost, the security system activates the immobilizer, and the car cannot start until a new, authorized key is generated. Modern cars require much more than a physical duplicate: a chip key or SmartKey must be programmed directly into the ECU for the vehicle to recognize it as valid.

🔧 What Happens When All the Keys Are Lost?

Losing the original key means the car is left without an authorized code to start. This implies:

• The immobilizer blocks the ignition

• The ECU does not detect any valid key.

• The security system requires a new registration

• A lost key can pose a risk if it falls into the wrong hands.

Therefore, the new key must be programmed and the lost key must be removed from the system.
