Can a Lost Car Key Be Replaced?

[Finn]

Car keys can be replaced if lost. Here are the relevant details you need to know about replacing a car key: 1. Car keys are relatively more secure and advanced. When replacing a lost remote car key, the new key must be matched with the vehicle's ID code. Once matched successfully, the lost key will immediately become invalid. If someone finds it, they can only open the car door using the mechanical key but cannot start the vehicle, making it much safer compared to ordinary door locks. Some may still feel that being able to open the door is unsafe, in which case the entire car lock can be replaced. 2. Car keys are significantly more expensive to replace than ordinary keys because the new key needs to be matched with the vehicle's ID code. For some imported car keys, replacement may require returning to the original manufacturer, making the cost of replacing keys for imported models naturally higher.
