How to Retrieve a Lost Car Key?
1 Answers
It is highly unlikely to retrieve a lost car key. Here are some methods you can try: 1. Spare Key: Most cars come with two keys, one for regular use and the other as a spare. Never keep the spare key inside the car; always store it in a safe place at home. 2. Professional Locksmith: If the vehicle is far from the spare key or the spare key is also lost, you can call a professional locksmith to unlock the car. Typically, you will need to provide relevant documents such as your ID card and vehicle registration certificate. 3. Get a New Key from the 4S Shop: Every car has an anti-theft code provided with the vehicle. The owner can provide the vehicle registration certificate and personal identification to the 4S shop, which can then retrieve the anti-theft code and configure a new key. Additionally, the data of the lost key can be erased, rendering it invalid for starting the car (though it may still open the doors). Therefore, the 4S shop may also recommend replacing all the locks in the car to ensure security.
