Watch this video to get an idea of how auto locksmiths create new car fobs. Today if you misplace a key or require an additional one, you will most likely visit a car dealership or a car locksmith to acquire a replacement key fob.
How do locksmiths create new key fobs for customers? An electronic key fob sends out radio signals that enable the vehicle’s doors to unlock. On vehicles equipped with smart keys and push-button starts, the key fob starts the engine.
The locksmiths use several programs and pieces of equipment required for this job. No program that supports all types of cars is available, and the needed expenditure puts the purchase out of reach for many professional locksmiths.
Some automobile brands only allow a restricted number of key codes to be entered into the car’s ECU. Thus, locksmiths will need to use special software to add and remove codes.
Locksmiths are authorized to make the necessary purchases of tokens to facilitate each programming operation. Thus, software makers may guarantee tokens are only sold to licensed and approved locksmiths, preventing auto thieves from accessing devices and systems.
