What to Do If You Lose Your Car Key Can It Be Tracked?

[JosephineRose]

Lost car keys cannot be tracked. If the key is misplaced at home or in a safe place and not stolen or lost, you may consider getting a duplicate key. However, if possible, it is safer to replace the entire car lock system entirely. There are two places where you can get a replacement key if you lose your car key. One is at a 4S store, and the other is at an auto parts market. Below are detailed introductions to the two methods: 1. The first method is to go to a 4S store for a replacement: Staff at the 4S store will typically locate the corresponding key code for your car model, then deactivate the lost key code, and finally issue a new key code. This way, even if the lost key is found, it won't pose a security risk. 2. The second method is to go to an auto parts market for a replacement: However, getting a key duplicated at an auto parts market carries some security risks. The auto parts market only replicates the key's code without deactivating the lost one. On the upside, getting a key duplicated at an auto parts market is several times cheaper than at a 4S store. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages.
