How to Replace a Lost Original Car Remote Key?

Every vehicle comes with an anti-theft code configured with the car. The owner needs to provide the vehicle license and identity information to the 4S dealership. The 4S dealership will retrieve the vehicle's anti-theft code based on the provided information and then configure a new key.

The day before yesterday, I lost my car key and felt terrible. My first reaction was to search through my bag for a spare key, and luckily, not all were lost. If I really couldn't find it, I would rush to the 4S store for a solution. They asked me to bring the vehicle registration and ID card, and the car had to be driven there. The technician used equipment to read the VIN code and program a new key. The whole process took about two hours and cost nearly a thousand yuan. Although it's expensive, it's worth the peace of mind, as there's a risk of car theft if the lost key is found. It's best to keep a spare key at home or in the office to avoid panic in emergencies. Most modern car keys come with chips, so simple duplication won't work—professional matching is required. I recommend everyone to regularly check the condition of their keys and not be as careless as I was, regretting only after losing them.
