Do I Need to Drive the Car to Get a New Car Key?

[PeterLee]

Car keys definitely require the car to be present, as the new key needs to be reprogrammed to the vehicle. Here is some relevant information about car keys: Lifespan: The battery in a car remote key typically lasts about 3 years. When the battery runs out, you'll need to open the key casing to replace it. For those with good DIY skills, replacing the battery is relatively simple. Precautions: The remote key contains a chip, so be careful not to damage it during disassembly. Otherwise, replacing the chip can be troublesome and costly. The key casing is generally not waterproof, so avoid submerging the remote key in water, as this can damage the chip. When using the remote key, try to avoid long-distance operation, as it will drain the battery faster.
