How to Replace a Lost Bora Car Key?
3 Answers
If you have lost your Bora car key, the solution is: first use the spare key to open the door, then take the spare key to get a new key made, keeping the spare to avoid losing it again. Relevant information about the car key's hold button is as follows: 1. Introduction: Pressing and holding the hold button for a few seconds opens the trunk, preventing the danger of accidentally opening the trunk while driving, hence the name 'hold'. 2. Other Functions: The hold button is not just a trunk opener; it is also a remote engine start button. Within remote distance, holding it for 2 to 3 seconds will automatically start the car. This feature is useful in winter and summer for adjusting the car's interior temperature in advance.
I also lost my Bora car key once. At that time, I directly contacted the local 4S dealership. They asked me to bring the vehicle registration certificate and ID card to verify ownership, then spent over 800 yuan to reprogram and match a new key - the whole process took just two hours. However, the technician reminded me that if the key was lost near the residential area and there were concerns about theft, it would require additional steps to delete the electronic coding of the lost key. Later, a friend told me that if you still have a spare key, you could get it duplicated at a professional automotive locksmith for about 400 yuan, but be sure to choose a qualified shop to avoid data leaks. Now I attach a Bluetooth tracker to my keychain - if lost, I can locate it via my phone, which is quite practical.
For Bao Lai key replacement, I recommend going to the dealership first for anti-theft processing. Last week my neighbor lost his car key, and I learned the whole procedure by accompanying him: the original factory equipment must be used to erase the electronic ID code of the lost key, otherwise anyone who finds it could start the vehicle directly. New key pairing requires reading the vehicle's computer data—just bring your vehicle license and ID card to get it done on the spot, costing roughly 700 to 1000 RMB. If you want cheaper options, try chain auto service shops, but make sure they can update the anti-theft system. Smart key chips are prone to magnetic interference, so avoid keeping them with your phone. It's wise to stash a mechanical spare key in the glove compartment for emergencies to unlock the door.
