What to Do If You Lose a Car Key?
1 Answers
If you lose a car key, the solution is: You can provide the vehicle registration certificate and identity information to a 4S dealership. The 4S dealership can then retrieve the vehicle's anti-theft password based on the provided information and configure a new key. At the same time, the data of the lost key can be erased. Although the lost key will no longer be able to start the vehicle, it can still unlock the doors. Therefore, the 4S dealership may also recommend replacing all the locks in the vehicle to ensure security. Nowadays, cars are typically supplied with one primary key and one spare key for the owner. If the primary key is lost, there is still a significant risk because the location where the key was lost is uncertain. If it was lost near a frequently parked location, since the remote control is with the primary key, it is possible for someone else to identify which car it belongs to by trial and error.
