Can car key remotes be duplicated?

[SarahAnn]

Car key remotes can indeed be duplicated. Authorized 4S dealerships can retrieve the anti-theft code for key configuration from their database by verifying the vehicle owner's driving license and ID documents. After obtaining this code, the dealership requires the key blade pattern number to cut a new key. Compared to ordinary house keys, car keys incorporate more advanced security features. To program a new remote key, the 4S shop must synchronize the new key's code with the vehicle's onboard system. Once successfully matched, the new key becomes operational while the lost key is automatically deactivated. Even if someone finds your old key, they could only mechanically unlock the doors but cannot start the engine. This security coding system significantly influences the final pricing of key replacement services.
